It would have been easy to double the size of the guaranteed prize pools by making our events unlimited re-entry or having a couple of dozen flights to our Main Event. But why would we turn prestigious events like the WPTWOC into competitions where only the richest players prosper?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Everyone and anyone can win at partypoker<\/strong> and we\u2019 stayed true to our mission statement of <strong>making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\">poker<\/a> fun and fair again<\/strong> when WPT and ourselves devised the festival\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n<h2>Limited Re-Entry and Late Registration<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with our re-entry policy for the WPTWOC. We\u2019re permitting <strong>only one re-entry<\/strong> in each of our No-Limit Hold\u2019em events, making it a much more level playing field and a purer experience for everyone. We want the WPTWOC tournaments to replicate what you\u2019d experience in a live setting so there won\u2019t be the elite grinders with deep pockets firing six bullets in an attempt to buy a title. Not on our watch.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to bust quite quickly if you want to take advantage of the single re-entry policy because the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rob_yong_\/status\/1282487045563322370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>late registration period of the WPTWOC events will be limited<\/strong><\/a>. You don\u2019t have to worry about grinding for three or four hours only to see a flurry of opponent buy in at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GrmR4RXFJ3g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For example, the WPT Opener events on July 18 have late registration open until the end of the ninth level. This is 135-mins in the $1,050 edition and 108-minutes in the $109 and $11 versions. Buying in at the ninth level sees the blinds 1,000\/2,000\/250a, meaning you\u2019ll sit down with 50 big blinds. Now that\u2019s quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Real Names Throughout For an Authentic Poker Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Players who have competed in our flagship tournaments are already used to having real names displayed at the tables. The WPTWOC will be <strong>an authentic festival<\/strong> with everyone\u2019s <strong>real names on show throughout<\/strong>. You won\u2019t have to worry about having to wait until the final table to discover the true identity \u201cJoeBloggs123\u201d. You\u2019ll see everyone\u2019s real name, regardless of whether they\u2019re a global superstar or someone who is just starting out in poker. You\u2019re playing poker for big money, you have the right to know who\u2019s trying to steal your blinds!<\/p>\n<p>Keeping with creating an authentic poker festival feel, partypoker has come up with a schedule that <strong>remains true to the WPT\u2019s heritage<\/strong>. WPT has brought poker to so many of us over the years and we\u2019re proud to be partners in this massive festival. We didn\u2019t want to take advantage of the WPT brand by having hundreds of events bearing its name. That\u2019s why we have only <strong>12 Championship events planned<\/strong>. Each WPTWOC event is prestigious, has only <strong>two starting flights<\/strong> and winning one will put you into an exclusive club of champions; there\u2019s won\u2019t be dozens of others who have managed the same feat, <strong>winning will feel special<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Fame and Glory Is Possible For Everyone<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-88040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPTWOC-Satellites-Master-social-production-blog-feed-600x287.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPTWOC-Satellites-Master-social-production-blog-feed-300x144@2x.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPTWOC-Satellites-Master-social-production-blog-feed-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPTWOC-Satellites-Master-social-production-blog-feed-702x336.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WPTWOC-Satellites-Master-social-production-blog-feed.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, partypoker and WPT have gone out our way to ensure the WPTWOC is not only <strong>accessible to all but it value for money<\/strong>. The <strong>rake throughout the Championship events will always be between 3-7%<\/strong>, which means more money in your bankroll. Our cashback programme, which gives you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/loyalty\/cashback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">up to 40% cashback every week<\/a>, reduces the rake further.
