Step 1 - All-In or Fold Sit & Go

  • The first step on the WSOP Express is a 4-player $0.50 All-in or Fold Hold’em Sit & Go.

  • Step 1 events will begin as soon as 4 players are registered.

  • Players will receive three stacks of 80 chips and battle it out for victory. Stacks can be used one at a time or all at once, but players only have one decision once the cards are dealt: All In or Fold!

  • Step 1 is a winner-take-all format; one player will progress and receive a Step 2 ticket. Worth $2

  • Players can buy into Step 1 events with Cash, T$ or with a Step 1 promotional ticket

  • All WSOP Express tickets are not redeemable, transferable or exchangeable and cannot be replaced if allowed to expire.

  • Step 2 tickets won from Step 1 are valid for 365 days.


Step 2 - 6 Player Spin & Gold

  • The second Step on the WSOP Express is a 6-player Spin & Gold tournament.

  • As soon as six players are registered, a game will begin.

  • The Spin & Gold wheel will determine the prize for the game.

  • Prizes range from $10 (1 x Step 3 ticket) to a Jackpot prize of $50,000, which awards all six players a prize. For full details, please visit the WSOP Express page here.

  • Starting chips vary depending on the prize, from 300 to 1,000 chips. Likewise, the blind intervals will also be different.

  • The winner will receive the minimum prize of a Step 3 ticket, but there’s also a chance the prize is greater (Step 4 tickets, Ring Passes, Bracelet Passes or even Super Passes can be won from Step 2!

Step 3 - Turbo ‘Target Stack’ Tournament

  • The third step on the WSOP Express is a 5-Max $10 (on demand) Turbo Hold’em Tournament.

  • Step 3 events will begin once 10 players are registered.

  • Step 3 events have a late registration period and allow re-entry during the late registration period.

  • Players start with 3,000 chips and must hit a target of 50,000 to qualify for Step 4.

  • When a player reaches the target stack, they are awarded a Step 4 ticket and 50,000 chips are removed from play; any remaining chips in their stack will be distributed to the other players in the hand where the target stack was reached. If this causes another player to reach the target stack, that player will be eligible for a prize if one is still available.

  • If there are not 50,000 chips in play when late registration closes and Step 4 tickets are still available to win, the event will become a standard tournament, and the last person remaining will win.
