June’s extravaganza promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. The WPT Macau festival is set to be headlined by a HK$40,000 buy-in Championship event (June 20-24).
The WPT High Roller event is set to be one of the most popular tournaments of the festival. It currently has a buy-in of HK$200,000. This will be contested from June 19-20.
The Wynn Macau property will play host to the historic festival this summer. The world famous venue is a luxury hotel and casino resort which boasts over 1,000 rooms and suites.
