WPT Global Mega Hour tournaments

The multi-table tournament schedule at WPT Global has gotten a whole lot busier with the launch of the Mega Hour tournaments. Sixteen tournaments run daily from 5:05 a.m. BST until 5:05 p.m. BST, with a new tournament kicking off every hour. Add up all of the guaranteed prize pools of the Mega Hour events, and you arrive at over ¥500,000.

Fourteen of the 16 Mega Hour events shuffle up and deal at five past the hour between 5:05 a.m. and 5:05 p.m. BST; the two others start at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. BST. The Mega Hour tournaments feature buy-ins ranging from ¥11 to ¥55, with an average of ¥30, making them affordable for most of WPT Global's vast player base.

Mega Hour kicks off at 5:05 a.m. BST with an ¥11 Mega Hour Early Open Mystery Bounty event that carries a ¥15,000 guarantee. A new Mega Hour event explodes into action every hour for the next 12 hours, giving WPT Global players more choice than ever before regarding large field MTTs with juicy guarantees.

The largest guarantee is ¥60,000. To be in with a chance of winning the lion's share of that princely sum, you'll need to enter the ¥55 Mega Hour Mystery Big Game, which starts promptly at 12:05 p.m. BST
