The schedule features a diverse range of formats including No-Limit Hold'em, PLO, PLO5, and PLO6. The tournament tiers accommodate varying bankrolls, with entry points starting as low as $1.10 and scaling up to five-figure high roller territory. In addition to the massive prize pools, 59 specific events are designated as "trophy tournaments," awarding winners a digital trophy displayed in their in-app cabinet.

Qualification Paths

If you want to bypass the higher buy-ins, CoinPoker has structured a massive satellite tree leading up to and during the series.

WPM Warm Up Stage: Running from April 26 to May 2, CoinPoker is dedicating a full week purely to satellites and feeder tournaments. This gives players a chance to stock up on WPM tickets before the official series even begins.
Daily Mega Satellites: Once the series is underway, daily satellites will run on the platform, allowing players to win their way into the high-value $215 and $530 events for just a few dollars.
Step Tournaments: The platform's traditional step system will be heavily tilted toward WPM tickets, allowing players to start at the sub-dollar level and grind their way up the ladder over the course of May.
