The World Poker Tour (WPT) has unveiled the schedule for the 2024 WPT World Championship, bringing some key changes and new events that are sure to catch the attention of poker fans.<\/p>\n

The $10,400 WPT World Championship Event: No Guarantee This Year<\/h2>\n

One major update is the absence of a guaranteed prize pool for the $10,400 buy-in no-limit hold\u2019em World Championship event. This is a noticeable shift from last year\u2019s $40 million guarantee, which wasn\u2019t met despite a record-breaking 3,835 players entering. That event ended with a $2.4 million overlay, even though it set a record for the largest field in WPT main tour history.<\/p>\n

For 2024, the event will run from December 14 to 21. Players can enter one of three starting flights, with a single entry allowed per flight. After the flights, the field will merge, leading to five more days of competition, where a new champion will be crowned.<\/p>\n

Ryan Beauregard\u2019s Take on This Year\u2019s Schedule<\/h2>\n

Ryan Beauregard, the Executive Director of Poker Operations at Wynn Las Vegas, shared his thoughts on the upcoming event. \u201cWe have crafted an incredible schedule for this year\u2019s World Championship, featuring more than 60 tournaments and satellites,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cI\u2019m confident that the loyal fanbase of Wynn Las Vegas and WPT, as well as more than 500 qualifiers and satellite winners, will make the 2024 WPT World Championship another rousing success.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

$1,100 WPT Prime Championship and $5 Million Freeroll<\/h2>\n

The WPT Prime Championship, with a $1,100 buy-in and a $5 million guaranteed prize pool, will return for its third edition. This popular event is scheduled for December 8-14 and is expected to attract a large field.<\/p>\n
