Since he joined the World Poker Tour (WPT) as an official brand ambassador, we have been seeing a lot more of Phil Ivey. One of the best all-around poker players in the world has been involved in all major WPT 2023 events in one way or another this year, and the WPT World Championship (WPTWC) is no exception.
WPTWC is a month-long series held at the Wynn, Las Vegas. This year, it starts on November 29, with the showcase event — a $10,000 buy-in tournament with a record-setting $40 million prize pool — running from December 12 to 21. Its international WPT Global real money poker site has been awarding Passports through qualifying routes online for the last month.
Now, WPT has announced a new opportunity for players on ClubWPT — the organizer’s subscription-based, free-play site — to play Phil Ivey heads up for a $10,400 WPT World Championship seat. Two lucky qualifying players will play the GOAT in a simultaneous live heads up match.
“Looking forward to playing heads up against the two ClubWPT players at the same time,” said Ivey, in the WPT press release. “Should be fun and competitive,” added the always garrulous Ivey.

How You Can Play Phil Ivey in Vegas
The “Phil Ivey WPT Duel” will start online, with ClubWPT hosting an online qualifier for the event on November 19, with all VIP and Platinum members welcome to take part. The qualifier will take place on November 19 at 5 PM ET, and will cost 2k TP, which can be acquired through a series of events on the ClubWPT platform.
ClubWPT is open to all players in the United States, provided they subscribe to either VIP or Platinum membership for the month of November.
The top two finishers in the Phil Ivey WPT Duel Qualifier will be awarded packages worth $2500 to play in the WPT Prime Championship in Las Vegas, which will precede the WPT World Championship by a few days.
This package will include a $1100 WPT Prime Championship buyin, four nights at the Wynn Las Vegas, and $500 in cash for your travel expenses.
However, the best part of the deal is that you also get to be one of the two players to play Phil Ivey in a heads up match, with the reward for beating him being a $10,400 seat in the WPT World Championship. That’s right! Either of the two players who play the GOAT in a simultaneous heads up match will have a chance to play the biggest guaranteed tournament of all time if they can take all of Phil’s chips.
Of course, defeating Ivey won’t be an easy task, but the winners will be freerolling the event, and it can be expected that Phil will happy to give some action and not be as intense as he is when he plays his opponents in the real money ring.
