\u201cWe are extremely excited to announce partypoker presents: WPT500 at ARIA Resort & Casino, WPT\u2019s newest tournament format,\u201d<\/em> said WPT President, Adam Pliska.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuing with \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be back in Las Vegas, hosting our first event at ARIA and partnering again with partypoker to bring poker players to this special $500 + $65 buy-in event. With so many ways to enter, this will be a very exciting tournament, especially with the $1 Million guaranteed prize pool.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Global Poker Director for partypoke<\/strong>r Jeffrey Haas<\/strong> said, \u201cWe expect more online qualifiers to participate in this event<\/strong><\/a> than any other poker tournament in Las Vegas this summer. The dream of massive tournaments with accessible buy-ins remains alive, and they will come from all over the world to compete for the $200K first prize. Of course they will enjoy their time staying at ARIA \u2013 one of the biggest poker hotspots on The Strip.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Adam Altwies, ARIA\u2019s Director of Poker Operations<\/strong>, added:\u00a0\u201cThe event is a wonderful start to our company\u2019s renewed partnership with the WPT. While we host daily and monthly tournaments throughout the year, this is yet another opportunity to provide our loyal guests as well as new poker customers the chance to play tournament poker at ARIA.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
