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.

In May, British Columbia’s David Dongwoo Ko continued his breakout year by taking down the WPT Montreal Championship for CAD $434,900. The event drew 882 entrants for a prize pool of $2.8 million and had a field that included Darryll Fish, Xuan Liu and three-time WPT champion Eric Afriat.
