The WPT World Online Championships are back

The Season XIX WPT World Online Championships, hosted by Partypoker, will run from August 13 to September 15, with a $5 million guarantee in the WPT Main Event.

Team partypoker pros and other high-profile names will compete in the WPT Pro Hunt progressive knockout tournament on the first day of the series. Players can compete for their share of a guaranteed $30,000 for a buy-in of $33. A total of 20% of the prize pool will be donated to a charity. Team partypoker’s Jaime Staples, Courtney Gee, Patrick Leonard, Joao Simao, Joni Jouhkimainen and Mikita Bodyakovskiy are all confirmed participants. Should players be able to eliminate a Team partypoker competitor, they can also win special bounty prizes, including $109 tickets to a satellite final for the WPT Main Event. The tournament winner will enter the WPT Main Event automatically. Last year, Phil Mighall became the inaugural champion of the WPT World Online Championships Main Event, placing first from a field of 1,011 players to win $1,55 million.
