Poker News

In case you missed it, the WPT Summer Festival on WPT Global kicked off on July 20. The latest real money online poker room is currently running its first summer series and has a host of amazing events lined up.

As well as a $1 million guaranteed Main Event, the platform is hosting the incredible $1 for $1 million event. Yes, you read that correctly – WPT Global is letting players participate in a seven-figure guaranteed event for just one dollar and has even brought in the likes of Phil Ivey and Tony Dunst to help attract eyes to the product.

The video sees Ivey and Dunst act as Customer Support Agents in what’s been described as one of the best poker adverts in over a decade.

Owen and Zhou Join in With the Fun

World Poker Tour ambassador Brad Owen also shared another hilarious video promoting the event, which featured Andrew Neeme and Jamie Kerstetter.

Chess Woman Grandmaster Qiyu “Nemo” Zhou also joined in on the fun with her own chess-themed video while showing off her skills against multiple recognisable opponents.

How to Play the $1 Into $1 Million

$1 for $1 million

Starting flights for the $1 Into $1 Million take place every Wednesday and Sunday from July 20 to August 17. The top 13% of players will advance to the event’s Day 2 which takes place on Sunday, August 21.

Players can enter all the Day 1s as the event is implementing a “Best Stack Forward” policy.

Day 2 will then see the field whittled down to its final eight players, with Day 3 being live streamed on the WPT Twitch channel on Monday, August 22.

The event will also have a huge overlay, which even gives more value to players as WPT Global General Manager, Alex Scott pointed out.
