January’s Winter Classic at Playground is shaping up well in advance, thanks to an online satellite schedule that puts both headline events within reach. WPT Global has confirmed weekly qualifiers into the Main Event and Mystery Bounty, complete with online Day 1 options and a notable bonus for Main Event satellite winners.

Main Event Qualification Explained

The Winter Classic Main Event runs with a $1,150 CAD buy-in and a $600,000 CAD guarantee. WPT Global’s satellite structure starts at $5 and steps through $55 and $220 before awarding Main Event seats.

Each Sunday from December 28 through January 25, $220 satellites are on the schedule. Players who win these satellites outright receive more than just a seat. A Golden Ticket is added to the prize, carrying a $120,000 CAD bonus that applies if the satellite winner ultimately takes down the Main Event.

Satellites to the Mystery Bounty

The $350 CAD Winter Classic Mystery Bounty carries a $250,000 CAD guarantee and has its own satellite pipeline. Players can qualify via a $5 to $55 to $350 progression, with $55 satellites running every Sunday from December 21 through January 18.

Qualified players may play Day 1 OnLive on January 18 or opt for live Day 1 flights at Playground between January 21 and January 24.
