The festival begins on November 28 with the $525 buy-in Opening Event, which comes with a $200,000 guarantee. Buy-ins range from $55 for the Mini Main Event up to $5,200 for the Super High Roller. Satellites for all events begin at just $0.01.
Fans from around the world will be able to tune in online to watch final tables from six of the events on the schedule beginning with the Opening Event final table on Monday, November 29. The final tables of Event #9 ($525 PKO), Event #11 ($2,100 High Roller), Event #17 ($888 Crazy 8), and Event #25 ($200,000 Big Shot) will also be streamed before the WPTDeepStacks Main Event final table on Tuesday, December 21.

“This will be another fabulous festival for 888poker and WPT,” said Dominik Nitsche, 888poker brand ambassador and WPT champion. “The beauty of events like this is that they provide genuine opportunity for casual players to win big starting from one cent buy-ins, all from the comfort of their own home. With an increasing number of online poker players emerging over the last year, I’m looking forward to witnessing the exhilarating action and the next WPTDS champion emerge.”
