With over $3M guaranteed over 28 different events, this series differs from the first edition that was held in April. For example, the number of events has increased from 16 to 28. The guaranteed prize pool was also boosted by over a million dollars. The minimum buy-in was also raised from $16.5 to $33. On top of that, half of all events will feature buy-ins from $109 to $525. This iteration of WPTDeepStacks is also going to have a new event, which is the $5,200 High Roller with $200,000 guaranteed. In order to increase the number of participants, there will always be a one-day break between events. For this reason, it will last over three weeks.
