WPT Playground Festival

Just months after the successful WPT Championship festival at Playground in Montreal, the World Poker Tour announced it will return to Montreal this fall.

The WPT Playground festival will take place Oct. 14-30 and will culminate with a CAD $3,500 buy-in WPT Playground Championship event offering a guarantee of CAD $1.5 million. Additionally, the series will feature highlights, including the WPT Prime Cup and the WPT 500 Championship.

“It was such a pleasure hosting a WPT Championship festival at Playground back in May, that we embraced the idea of returning for a second 2024 showing,” WPT CEO Adam Pliska said in a press release. “Players will once again have a chance at three different WPT titles, including the most prestigious honor of being immortalized on the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup.”
