"With the $10k World Series main event and the $15k World Poker Tour Bellagio Cup going on in Las Vegas, all eyes are on poker in July," said Steve Lipscomb, WPT Founder and CEO. "Honoring the true competitive spirit of this great game--the only sport in the world where the average Joe can sit down with the pro's and earn life-changing money and celebrity status--ClubWPT is going to give two lucky winners the chance to take their shot at millions in a WPT main event."
Based on sweepstakes law, www.ClubWPT.com is a legal, risk-free way to play online poker and blackjack in the United States. For a $19.95 monthly subscription, members can compete for over $100,000 in cash and prizes each month, and receive benefits like magazine subscriptions, coupons, and other content. Instead of putting up real money, however, members receive "tournament points" to buy-in and play for prizes, which vary from tournament points to $20,000 prize pools, WPT Boot Camps, World Series of Poker main event seats, and more. To date, www.ClubWPT.com has awarded more than $2.6 million in prizes and recently sent two members to play in the 2009 World Series of Poker main event.
The $10k WPT Seat tournaments will require a 500-point buy-in with satellites running daily. The WPT seat tournaments will run Saturday, July 11 and Saturday, July 25 at 9:00pm ET.
In addition to the $10,000 buy-in, winners will also receive $1,000 in travel allowance. Players will have their choice to play in one of the following $10,000 WPT main events: Bay 101 Shooting Star at Bay 101 in San Jose, Calif.; Southern Poker Championship at Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Miss.; Legends of Poker at Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles; L.A. Poker Classic at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles; Foxwoods World Poker Finals at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn; and Hollywood Poker Open at the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, Ind.
In addition to the WPT main event seats, www.ClubWPT.com is also offering several new tournaments and membership benefits:
-- The PPI Elite Bounty Series $1,000: Pits ClubWPT members against some of the biggest names in professional poker. To sweeten the pot, each of the PPI Elite players has a $50 bonus bounty on their head - so when you knock 'em out, you walk away with an extra $50 bucks!
-- WPT Boot Camp: This month we will be giving you a new opportunity to win a seat to a WPT Boot Camp. Choose from any WPT 2-Day Boot Camp.
