WPT Global: Summer Festival Comes to an End, Fall Festival up Next!

WPT Global Shares Great Results

Of course, highlights couldn’t be left out in this series. WPT Global had set up a great online series, with plenty of added value in terms of poker freerolls, and leaderboards. 

WPT500

The $530 WPT500 tournament attracted a strong field with 898 participants, creating a substantial prize pool of $449,000. After an intense battle at the final table, the player known as 两弹一星 triumphed, taking home the grand prize of $83,109. His nickname translates into ‘Two Bombs, One Satellite’.

WPT Prime

The $1,060 WPT Prime event attracted 615 participants, which wasn’t enough to cover the guaranteed prize pool of $750,000. The champion, known as Sucra71, claimed the prestigious title, earning $145,312 in prize money along with a highly sought-after $10,400 seat in the WPT World Championship.

Will he continue his hot streak later this year during this live event?

WPT Championship

The WPT Championship, a $3,500 buy-in event and the highlight of the series attracted 283 participants vying for a portion of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. It actually overlayed with a minor amount in the end. The player known as pas1161br emerged victorious, claiming an impressive $206,300 in winnings and securing a $10,400 seat at the WPT World Championship.

The final table featured intense competition, including WPT Global ambassadors Patrick ‘Egption’ Tardif and Jon ‘apestyles’ Van Fleet, who finished in 2nd and 5th place, respectively. Job well done!

How Did the WPT Global Ambassadors Do?

The final day of the event was filled with excitement as WPT Global ambassadors and notable players made impressive deep runs. Patrick “Egption” Tardif had a remarkable performance, finishing 3^rd in the $220 Summer Festival Championship, earning $25,859, and securing 2^nd place in the $3,500 WPT Championship, taking home $130,640.

Patrick shared his journey on social media, and is also streaming his online poker career on channels such as Twitch. Jon “apestyles” Van Fleet, another online streamer, also made a strong showing, finishing 5^th in the $3,500 WPT Championship Day 2 and earning $59,200.

Brad “BradOwen1” Owen finished in 31^st place in the same event, adding $7,300 to his earnings. Xuan “XXLiu” showcased her consistency with multiple cashes, including a 3^rd place finish in the $330 Grand Slam for $6,727 and 8^th place in the $530 Last Chance Turbo, earning $1,480.

Other notable results include LocoGrizzly securing 3^rd place in the $3,500 WPT Championship with a prize of $97,360, and HansBonSjans winning the $530 Sunday Egption event, taking home $16,598. AbsoluteFish dominated the $330 Grand Slam, winning $15,776 along with $8,477 in bounties, while yushokg emerged victorious in the $110 Crazy Sunday PKO, pocketing $17,427, including $6,019 in bounties.

We are pretty confident that WPT Global, despite a couple overlays here and there, are more than satisfied with the eventual turnout.

As mentioned, a total of more than 15,000 players managed to play at least one tournament during this series, making the next upcoming Fall Festival look very promising!
