The World Poker Tour is set to return to The Star Sydney from September 10-30, bringing a 21-day festival packed with 36 tournaments. The series will once again feature a ladies event, satellites, bounty formats, and Pot-Limit Omaha tournaments alongside its two headline championships.
The A$1,500 WPT Prime Australia Championship kicks off the marquee action, running September 17-22. The event includes four starting flights on the opening day, with players returning for Day 2 on September 21 before a champion is crowned on September 22.
Just two days later, the A$5,000 WPT Australia Championship begins on September 24, also featuring four starting flights. Day 2 is scheduled for September 27, leading into a televised final table on September 30, where the winner will have their name added to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup.
WPT CEO Adam Pliska expressed enthusiasm for the festival’s return, highlighting Australia’s passionate poker community and the anticipation of crowning another WPT champion at The Star Sydney.
Beyond the two championships, the schedule caters to a wide range of bankrolls. The festival opens with the A$1,250 Australian Poker Cup from September 10-14, followed by events such as the A$1,150 Sydney PLO Open, the A$500 Ladies Australian Championship, the A$1,350 Mystery Bounty, the A$10,000 WPT Australia High Roller, and the A$5,000 Australian PLO Championship.
An extensive satellite schedule will also run throughout the series, giving players affordable pathways into several featured tournaments, including both championship events and the Mystery Bounty tournament.
