The 25-day schedule features more than 85 tournaments and over $20 million in guaranteed prize pools. Players can choose from championship events, mixed games, high rollers and satellites, with the $10,400 WPT World Championship headlining the festival.

New this year, the championship adds $1 million in mystery bounty cash and prizes, separate from the prize pool generated by tournament entries.
