The World Poker Tour Bellagio Cup is an event of unmatched excitement and poker action. With a buy-in of $15,000 this event attracts some of the biggest names in poker along with some lucky qualifiers that come from all over the world to try and qualify at one of the Bellagio’s many satellites that run almost nonstop, building up to the main event.
With a starting stack of 45,000 and a 90-minute clock, the WPT Bellagio Cup is a well structured tournament that will give you great value for money. But it’s not just the structure that makes this event so interesting and enjoyable; it’s the Bellagio’s strict tournament regulations. The WPT Bellagio Cup has a relatively low number of entries and not only is there only around 500 entries, but they are divided into three separate first days, which means day one, whether it be A, B, or C, will have a relatively low number of players. This along with the tournament structure gives for a game that players can enjoy at a reasonably slow and relaxed pace. The Tournament gives players the time to be more patient during day one and not feel the clock creeping up on them while their small starting stack dwindles away to the 2,7’s and 9,4’s.
If you have the bankroll and are looking for a tournament that will test your skill but not put you under the thump, then the WPT Bellagio Cup is an excellent choice. One of our favourite high buy-in events that offers a real chance of making the final table. If you’re planning a visit to Las Vegas for some poker action then why not consider arranging your trip to coincide with The WPT Bellagio Cup. Play the satellites and see if you can get into the WPT Bellagio Cup.
