Main Event Structure

PokerWired’s Top Picks For The Weekend
- Best pure value play: Phase-L Mystery Million on Monday night, GGPoker. A $5.50 entry into seven figures is the kind of overlay situation that doesn't come around often. If you play one event this weekend, make it this one.
- Best mid-stakes play: CoinPoker's WPM Main Event Day 1A on CoinPoker, Sunday at 17:30 UTC. Four more flights still to come, so there's zero reason to treat this bullet as precious. Fire it, play your game, and if it doesn't work out you have four more Sundays to come back.
- Worth adding to your radar: WPT Global's Asia Mystery Million costs around $26 to enter, runs Day 1 flights every two hours around the clock, and culminates in a Saturday final at 20:30 UTC+8. The weekly guarantee is aprox. $275,000 with a top Mystery Bounty of $27,500. The prize pool splits 50/50 between regular payouts and bounties. For $26, that's a lot of tournament for the money.
