Prizes are paid out in tickets to upcoming online series, with the winner picking up a $12,400 WPT World Championship package.
A $75,000 guaranteed freeroll will be held on 25 August, with the starting stack depending on the number of tournaments played or the amount of buy-ins:

Players who reach the Gold level will be entered into the $12,400 WPT World Championship package drawing on 25 August. Each package includes $10,400 for a ticket and $2,000 in expenses.
Another way to increase your stack is to play at PLO cash tables: every 100 hands at limits $0.1/$0.2 and above will add 200 chips (up to a maximum of 4,000 in total). The qualifying period runs from 0:00 GMT on 28 July to 23:59 on 18 August. All hands in which a player is dealt cards, even if he discarded them before the flop, are counted.
