WPT World Championship 2024 Kicks Off at Wynn Las Vegas: What to Expect
The World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship Festival has returned to Wynn Las Vegas for an action-packed 2024 season. Starting December 3, the festival features an extensive schedule of tournaments, including the highly anticipated $1,100 WPT Prime Championship and the $10,400 WPT World Championship.
A Record-Breaking Tradition Continues
Last year, Calvin Anderson took down the WPT Prime Championship, which saw an unprecedented field of 10,512 players, earning him nearly $1.4 million. This year, with over 1,200 entries on Day 1a alone, tournament organizers are hopeful for another stellar turnout.
According to WPT Executive Tour Director Matt Savage, while it’s uncertain if the tournament will surpass last year’s numbers, early signs indicate another highly successful series. “The numbers have been tremendous so far,” Savage commented. “The Wynn has truly become a world-class destination for poker.”
Exciting Events and Big Names
The festival includes major events like the $10,400 WPT World Championship on December 14 and the WPT Ladies Championship on the same day. For the first time, the series will feature the $5 million ClubWPT Gold Invitational Freeroll starting December 13, attracting over 1,500 qualifiers with complimentary accommodations at the Wynn.
Renowned players, including defending champion Anderson and recent high-stakes cashes leader Dan Sepiol, are among the attendees. Sepiol, who claimed $7 million in live earnings this year, shared his enthusiasm for returning to Wynn, stating, “This is one of the best venues for poker.”
Competing Events and Wynn’s Appeal
December has become a competitive month for poker, with global events such as the WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas and the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Prague. Despite the overlap, Savage believes the WPT World Championship offers unique opportunities, especially for players seeking fields with less competition from top pros attending rival events.
“The Wynn provides an unparalleled experience, from the quality of the dealers to the hospitality,” Savage added. “It’s a partnership we hope will continue for many years to come.”
