WPT Global paid out a massive payout of $129K in Saturday's Crazy Overpayment event.

WPT Global's Saturday Crazy Overpayment Event, requiring only a ¥9 buy-in, had a total prize pool of ¥1,000,000, ultimately resulting in a $129,166 payout difference. Argentine player Magopol won the event, taking home nearly $32,000.

Most online poker operators fear overlays in their guaranteed tournaments, but WPT Global is different. They not only welcome overlays in Saturday's crazy oversold events, but they also deliberately set the guarantees so high and limit the number of participants to ensure such overlays occur.

Saturday's Overlay Edition boasts a total prize pool of ¥1,000,000 (approximately ¥150,000 per TP4T), with a buy-in of only ¥9 (approximately ¥1.25 per TP4T). Reaching this guaranteed prize pool would require a massive field of over 100,000 participants – clearly an impossible feat, but that's precisely the key.

When late registration closed, Saturday's Crazy Overpayment event had a total of 17,361 entries. Before you even grab your calculator, we can tell you that the prize difference is a whopping ¥861,112, equivalent to 129,166 per TP4T, which WPT Global is giving back to its loyal customers.

Hours later, only one player remained with chips – Argentina's "Magopol". They emerged victorious from the massive crowd, winning the ¥200,000 jackpot, plus a ¥1,303 bonus! This was an impressive result: turning an investment equivalent to $1.25 into a return of nearly $32,000.
