The WPT Voyage With $1.5 Million In Guarantees Sets Sail In Miami
Hundreds of poker players from all over the world gathered in Miami on Easter Sunday as they prepared to set sail southbound into the Atlantic Ocean. The occasion? The long-awaited World Poker Tour (WPT) Voyage.
The WPT Voyage — which guarantees over $1.5 million in prize pools — will set sail on Virgin’s Valiant Lady, a 1,400-cabin cruise ship that will host the entirety of the six-day festival. A full set of WPT festivities is on offer, from the $1,100 WPT Prime event with a $500,000 guarantee and the $5,000 WPT Voyage Championship with a $1,000,000 guarantee.
With everyone on board and the sun setting behind the Miami skyline, WPT's Adam Pliska, Matt Savage and Vince Van Patten all made remarks from the top deck before the Valiant Lady Set Sail.
Pajama MUG Will Kick Things Off
Now that the Valiant Lady is in open sea, it's time for the poker fun to kick off with a pajama meet-up game.
Players can hop into the MUG with the likes of Princess Love, Ashley Frank, Jesse Sylvia, Ashley Sleeth, and Nikki Limo. Also joining the game will be WPT Ambassadors and stars like Andrew Neeme, Ethan “Rampage” Yau, Tony Dunst, Vince Van Patten, and Lynn Gilmartin.
“A Meet-Up Game is the perfect fit for the WPT Voyage,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska in a press release. “Just as the Premier MUG does for the WPT World Championship festival, we aim to kick off the Voyage festivities with everyone coming together in a fun-loving environment.”
