$2,500 WPT® Prime Lodge Championship Passport Qualifier

Texas Hold’em. In Texas. For a WPT® Championship Title.

Your next shot at playing on the World Poker Tour® starts online — and could end deep in the heart of Texas.

ClubWPT is awarding six $2,500 WPT® Prime Lodge Championship Passports across three exclusive online qualifiers. Better yet, you don’t have to win the tournament to win the trip. The top two finishers in each qualifier earn a Passport.

Each $2,500 ClubWPT® Passport includes your buy-in seat to the live WPT® Prime Lodge Championship, October 8-12 in Austin, Texas, plus cash toward travel and hotel expenses.

Six Passports. Three tournaments. Two winners from each. And yes, the Championship is No-Limit Texas Hold’em. In Texas. Sometimes the poker gods really do get the theme right.

Deep in the Heart of Texas Poker

If you earn one of the six Passports, your destination is The Lodge Card Club Austin — a poker room that takes the game every bit as seriously as you do.

Known simply as “The Lodge,” this members-only social club is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and has been built around one idea: give poker players a comfortable place to play poker. Lots of it.

The room is packed with tables and comfortable chairs, with cash games, tournaments and plenty of action throughout the week. Big-screen TVs are positioned within view of the tables, so when there happens to be a big football game on while you’re grinding No-Limit Hold’em, you won’t exactly have to choose between the two.

The Lodge puts a heavy emphasis on the player experience, with professionally trained dealers, friendly front-desk staff and professional security backed by state-of-the-art cameras throughout the club.

Need to refuel during a long session? Complimentary water, coffee and soft drinks are available, while a full food menu offers everything from all-day breakfast to sandwiches, salads, pasta, desserts and more. Because when you’re playing poker until an unreasonable hour, breakfast at 10:00 PM suddenly makes perfect sense.

The October 8–12 WPT® Prime Lodge Championship will be the headline event of a much larger poker festival running September 24 through October 12, bringing weeks of tournaments and poker action to Austin. The Championship itself features a $1 million guaranteed prize pool, giving ClubWPT players the opportunity to turn one online qualifier into a very lucrative live poker experience.

Your road to Austin starts next weekend.

Pick your qualifier. Play for the top two. Then pack your bags for Texas…

Total Value Of Each WPT® Prime Lodge Championship Passport Is $2,500 And Includes:

• $1,100 WPT® Prime Lodge Championship seat.
• $1,400 travel & hotel stipend (self-arranged travel, room & board, incidentals, and card room access and seat rental fees.††)

IMPORTANT:

1. Each WPT® Prime Lodge Championship Passport winner will be pre-registered to play the Day 1D flight on XXX, October YYY, 2026 of the WPT® Prime Lodge Championship event.
2. ††Per Texas State law, the The Lodge Card Club is not allowed to collect a rake, therefore, a “club access fee” and “hourly seat rental fee” is required to access and play at The Lodge. A one week membership costs $10 (memberships can be purchased weekly, monthly or annually.) The seat rental fee is $12/hour (if you pre-pay), and $13/hour if you pay once you're finished playing (there's no hourly seat rental fee 6:00-10:00 AM daily.) A $50 deposit towards the seat rental fee is required before you take your seat. View The Lodge's membership page for full details.

THE $2,500 WPT® PRIME LODGE CHAMPIONSHIP PASSPORT IS NON-TRANSFERRABLE AND CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THE 2026 $1,100 WPT® PRIME LODGE CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT.

The August 15th qualifier will award an $1,100 WPT® Prime Championship at Wynn Las Vegas seat to 3rd-5th place finishers, in addition to $500 cash that will be split among the remaining final table finishers (6th thru 9th place.)

3rd through 9th place finishers of both qualifiers on August 16th will share $500 cash. See “Payouts” in the game lobby for individual award amounts.”
