WPT Legends of Poker
Prize pool $3 million!
World Poker Tour Legends of Poker Main Event Starts
The $3,500 Main Event Will Allow Re-Entry For Those Eliminated On Day 1A
On Thursday, the Bicycle Casino will kick off their annual World Poker Tour Legends of Poker main event. The 20-event series has been running since late July and has awarded millions in prize money.
The $3,500 main event is the first televised stop on season 10 of the WPT, and tournament officials are expecting an estimated prize pool of $3 million, thanks to the lowered buy in and two re-entry days. Players who are eliminated on day 1A may buy-in to day 1B.
Last year’s champion Andy Frankenberger defeated Kyle Wilson and a field of 462 to earn a $750,000 payday. The win sparked a nice run for Frankenberger, who went on to become the season 9 WPT Player of the Year.
