ClubWPT Gold’s 5 Million-Chip Freeroll Runs Through Nov. 29
Free Day 1 flights award prizes to 5% of each field, while advancing players can combine stacks for the 1 million-Chip final-day prize.
- The tournament guarantees 5 million Chips and awards 1 million Chips to the winner.
- At least two free Day 1 flights run daily at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. PT through Nov. 28.
- Five percent of each opening-flight field gets paid and 3% advances to Day 2.
- Players who advance through multiple flights combine their stacks for the Nov. 29 finale.
ClubWPT Gold’s 5 Million GTD Free Entry Tournament is under way, offering a 5 million-Chip guarantee and a 1 million-Chip top prize. The event began Nov. 1 and runs through Nov. 29, with free Day 1 flights available at least twice daily through Nov. 28.
As we reported Oct. 28, the tournament is ClubWPT Gold’s largest single event to date. The World Poker Tour says each player receives one free entry per Day 1 flight, which start at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. PT. Players who bust may re-enter for 100 Chips, and may buy one 50-Chip add-on in each flight.
The format gives players a way to build multiple stacks for the finale. Five percent of each Day 1 field earns a portion of that flight’s prize pool, while the top 3% advances to Day 2. Any player who advances more than once carries a combined stack into the final day.
Prizes are awarded in Chips, which ClubWPT Gold’s redemption rules value at $1 per Chip. The service is a sweepstakes-based poker club available in 45 U.S. states and territories, according to its tournament announcement. No purchase is necessary, and the promotion is void where prohibited; participation is limited to eligible players aged 21 or older and subject to geographic restrictions.
PokerOrg framed the event as an unusually soft freeroll, citing the tendency for free tournaments to attract newer and less experienced players. Doug Polk called it “the softest poker tournament of all time,” a characterization PokerOrg said could be credible given the site’s reputation for soft fields.
The main prizes are paid on Day 2, scheduled for Nov. 29. Additional Day 1 flights for the final week were to be announced.
