Popular poker streamer and WPT Global ambassador Fintan Hand is fronting a special promotion that will see one lucky winner head to Las Vegas to compete in the $10,000 WPT World Championship.
Hand, known in the poker community as "easywithaces," has launched the Easy Way to Vegas promotion. Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. GMT for the next 30 weeks, WPT Global is running a $5 buy-in Easy Way to Vegas tournament, essentially a series of Hands' home games.
The winner of each of these weekly tournaments progresses to a grand finale where the eventual winner receives entry to the $10,000 WPT World Championship at the Wynn Las Vegas, plus expenses*.

Additionally, Hand is adding $110, $55, and $22 to the first, second, and third place in each home game to make them even juicier. These tournaments offer superb value, as they cost only $5 to enter.
