Turn a Tiny Buy-in Into a Share of $137K In Record Time at WPT Global

Poker tournaments are as popular as ever, thanks to them enabling players to turn a relatively small buy-in into a much more meaningful prize. Unfortunately, the length of time it takes for a major tournament to conclude often prevents would-be tournament grinders from joining the action. This is why the ¥33 CN¥ Million: Sunday Hyper PKO Showdown at WPT Global is so popular.

WPT Global created the ¥33 CN¥ Million: Sunday Hyper PKO Showdown knowing its players love playing for big money but don’t necessarily have several hours spare to dedicate to doing so. Typically, the ¥33 CN¥ Million: Sunday Hyper PKO Showdown is done and dusted within four hours of starting, despite the large field it attracts to WPT Global’s virtual felt.

The ¥33 buy-in is the equivalent of around $4.50, making the tournament one of the more affordable on the site. The monster-sized ¥1 million guarantee WPT Global has placed on this event is the equivalent of $137,000! Imagine paying only a few bucks, and a short time later, you’re reeling in the lion’s share of a $137,000 prize pool!

This epic, action-packed tournament takes place every other Sunday, with your next chance to jump into the action on March 23 at 12:00 p.m. UTC. It uses a hyper-turbo blind structure that ensures the tournament progresses at a lightning pace—there’s no time for you to rest on your tour laurels!

Half of the guaranteed prize pool is awarded in a traditional format to the top finishers, with the remaining 50 percent divided up and placed on the head of each entrant in the form of a progressive bounty. Eliminate opponents to instantly receive half of their bounty as a cash prize, with the other half increasing the bounty on your head!

The PKO element of the ¥33 CN¥ Million: Sunday Hyper PKO Showdown means you could easily turn a substantial profit without navigating to the regular prize pool! The fast-paced nature of the hyper-turbo blinds makes the ¥33 CN¥ Million: Sunday Hyper PKO Showdown thrilling and ensures bounties will be won and lost almost from the moment the software shuffles up and deals.
