For players seeking more affordable entry points, WPT Prime events start at $1,100, offering the same world-class tournament experience at a lower price point.

In its second year, the WPT Prime Championship attracted a stunning field of more than 10,000 entries, creating a prize pool of more than $10.1 million. The $1,100 buy-in event at Wynn Las Vegas offers $1,380,000 to the winner. The full payout structure includes approximately $850,000 for second place, $550,000 for third, and payouts down to roughly $2,500 for min-cashes. The WPT Prime Championship has become one of the most popular tournaments in the world due to its massive prize pool relative to its low buy-in.
