The total value of the seats offered as part of this leaderboard challenge exceeds $80,000.
Commenting on the Leaderboard, Ryan Beauregard, Executive Director of Poker Operations at Wynn Las Vegas, said
This race is meant to be a fun challenge amongst the high stakes players, and both Wynn and WPT are excited to provide more than $80,000 in seats as added value.

The WPT Alpha8 Trifecta at Wynn Las Vegas is positioned as a highlight of the summer poker season, running at the same time as the 55th World Series of Poker, offering high-stake players the chance to compete in a series of premium events. The addition of a points leaderboard introduces a new competitive element, rewarding consistent performance across the series.
Speaking about the newly announced events, WPT CEO Adam Pliska remarked
Last year, WPT witnessed a grand resurgence of the Alpha8 brand, which all began with a successful summer event at Wynn Las Vegas

We are taking it a step further this time around by hosting three Alpha8 high rollers at this amazing venue.
