The world of online poker has undergone significant changes over the years, with tournament schedules evolving to accommodate the needs of players. However, some sites have taken a step back and revisited the classic freezeout format, making it an exciting addition to the online poker landscape. One such site is WPT Global, which has introduced a trio of One Shot tournaments, dubbed “One Shot” events, to its daily schedule. These events are a nod to the classic freezeout format, where players receive a fixed amount of chips and have one shot at winning the tournament.
The Classic Freezeout Format Returns
The One Shot events at WPT Global follow the traditional freezeout format, where players receive 10,000 chips to start and have a limited time to win. Late registration remains open for almost three hours, allowing players to arrive fashionably late to the party, but there are no rebuys or re-entries. Players get one shot at glory, one attempt to shine.
- Progressive Knockout (PKO) format with a $2,000 guaranteed prize pool
- Traditional tournament with a $3,000 guarantee
- Single, no-rebuy/no-reenter format
These One Shot events are part of WPT Global’s efforts to cater to a wide range of players. In addition to the One Shot tournaments, the site has also introduced progressive knockout (PKO) and satellite tournaments, as well as an Asia timezone-friendly set of tournaments and the fast-paced Dash.
A Welcome Bonus Worth Up To $3,580
