Every 45 minutes, every table will play a ‘bomb pot’ where all players will bet a pre-arranged amount and the dealer will deal a flop with no pre-flop action. Whoever goes on to win this hand will receive a prize. This could be a piece of WPT Merchandise, a WPT Montreal online closer ticket, or a WPT Global Spring Festival ticket. The value of the bomb pot prize will be announced before the hand is dealt.
