WPT Montreal and Spring Festival in Full Bloom!
WPT Global is a poker operator that rarely sleeps. So, it makes sense that their coming at us with everything they’ve got this spring, including WPT Montreal and the WPT Global Spring Festival Online running simultaneously!
It’s a lot to take in all at once, we know. That’s why we’re breaking down each one for you in the article!
WPT Spring Festival – A Recap Before the Big Bang
At this point, the Spring Festival has been going for quite some time, a little over two weeks for those that are counting. The festivities originally kicked off May 5th, with the online poker action expected to climax this Sunday, May 26th.
While we’ve already discussed the Spring Festival highlights (including Sunday Slams and Rakebacks), it’s time to see what the poker pros have managed to do with them – did they beat on against the current or flop out the first chance they got?
$1,060 WPT Prime Event
With just short of 800 entries (770 to be exact), the $1,060 WPT Prime event was the one to look out for during the Spring Festival. With a $750,000 GTD, who wouldn’t want a piece of the prize.
Ultimately, it was was player “吴念真” who reigned supreme, taking home not only $137,267 in prize money but a $10,400 WPT Championship seat in Las Vegas this December!
