WPT Global is thrilled to announce the boost of its upcoming Summer Festival, increasing the guarantee from $7 million to a personal record $8 million. This isn’t the end of WPT Global giving back to players, as it is giving each Preheat Festival champion a $220 seat in the Summer Festival Championship, which will total over $35,000 in added value.
