WPT Global is heading to Canada, Playground in Montreal to be exact, between July 20 and August 3 for the inaugural WPT Global Summer Million Festival. The fortnight-long festival is expected to pay out CAD$1,500,000, including at least CAD$600,000 in the Main Event alone, while WPT Global is adding more than CAD$200,000 through exciting online promotions.

WPT Global Summer Million Festival Schedule

Ryan Bevens, VP of Gaming Operations at Playground, is delighted to welcome WPT Global back to Montreal.

"We're thrilled to welcome WPT Global back to Playground for what promises to be a truly unforgettable Summer Million Festival. With over $200,000 in added value, a packed schedule of online and live opportunities, and a CAD$600,000 guaranteed Main Event, this is shaping up to be an excellent event. Whether players are grinding online in satellites or in the $100K freeroll then joining us live in Montreal, the value and energy will be next level."

Exclusive WPT Global Promotions

As this festival is WPT Global's baby, the official online poker site of the World Poker Tour (WPT) offers plenty of promotions.

First, starting June 22, WPT Global is hosting a Main Event Freeroll every day for 30 days. The winner of each freeroll receives a CAD$1,150 WPT Global Summer Million Festival Main Event seat, while others share $500 in Summer Million satellite tickets.

Playing in as many of these daily freerolls is worthwhile. You not only have the chance to win a CAD$1,150 Main Event seat for free, but finishing in the top five of any of the 30 daily freerolls sees you invited to a CAD$100,000 Online Freeroll. Should you play in the CAD$100,000 freeroll and then become the WPT Global Summer Million Main Event champion, WPT Global will boost your payout by CAD$120,000!

Online Satellites, Day 1s, and Events

WPT Global's players can play online satellites for as little as $5, which award seats in the CAD$350 Mystery Bounty and the CAD$1,150 Main Event. No other online poker site is offering satellites to these events.

It's worth noting that WPT Global players have the opportunity to play online Day 1s for the CAD$250,000 guaranteed event, the CAD$350 Mystery Bounty, and the CAD$1,150 buy-in, CAD$600,000 guaranteed Main Event. Play Day 1s from the comfort of your home, progress to Day 2, and head to Playground to conclude the tournament in a live setting.

You'll also notice that the schedule features some online tournaments that WPT Global is hosting. The first two Summer Million Festival events are $22 and $44 buy-in tournaments on July 20 and July 21. Playground is awarding trophies to the winners of those events. A third trophy is up for grabs in the $110 buy-in event on July 27.
