The World Poker Tour (WPT) is continuing its foray into the online poker world with the WPT Spring Festival. The festival was announced this week and will be sponsored by Poker King. The WPT Online has continued to grow this year since a successful 2020. Games moved online after the COVID-19 pandemic began, since casinos were closed, and social distancing was a major concern. The WPT Spring Festival will kick off this February, offering players plenty of online poker action.
Huge Guarantees
The WPT Spring Festival will take place from February 11-22. It will feature over ¥12 million (~$1.85 million) in guarantees. The most anticipated online poker event on the schedule will be the Main Event. It will take place from February 17-22.
This event includes a prize pool of ¥10 million (~$1.5 million) and will offer three starting flights. The buy-in to the event is ¥2,000 (~$300). Players who take part in the Main Event will be able to play against top poker pros as well as celebrities.
Players who you might recognize that are confirmed for the Main Event include Phil Ivey, Nick Petrangelo, and Tom Dwan. NBA star Allen Iverson is also supposed to take part. Dwan and Ivey are both ambassadors for Poker King.
