The World Poker Tour (WPT) is hosted by Mike Sexton, a member of Team Party Poker. As a result of this affiliation, it is perhaps no surprise whatsoever that Party Poker is the only online poker site that is currently offering entry into all of the different WPT events across the upcoming season of the live poker tournament tour.
Right now, players can go into various satellite tournaments online for a chance to win a $15,000 prize package that will award them a seat at the WPT tournament of their choice. In total, Party Poker is giving away a seven-figure amount of money in prize packages to WPT events.
However, that is merely the tip of the iceberg as far as Party Poker prizes are concerned regarding WPT events. For every WPT event this season, Party Poker will be setting aside a prize pool of $500,000. All of the Party Poker players that go to that WPT event due to winning their prize packages online at the giant online poker site will get a share of that prize pool as a bonus for making it that far. If any player manages to actually win the WPT event after coming from Party Poker, they will get another $500,000 as a winning bonus on top of the money they get from the prize pool.
There is no question that there is a lot of money to be won just from the Party Poker end of getting into the World Poker Tour. If a player manages to get lucky and win one of the WPT events, they might never have to work another day in their life because of how much money they might end up getting out of the deal.
The Party Poker satellite tournaments containing the packages as prizes will run on Sunday afternoons in the Eastern Time Zone. They have already started and will run all the way to May 30th when the last one is held. Naturally, there are super satellite tournaments that you can use to get into these Sunday satellites cheaper, so it is possible for a person to turn a few bucks into a few million.
