IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to the recent spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we’ve made the decision to indefinitely postpone the Cage Live event and weekly satellites. As of now, we are not taking reservations for upcoming events.

This is not a decision we came to lightly, but under the circumstances, we feel it is the right one. The safety of our player community and our staff must be our top priority.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this postponement might cause, but we feel it is the only responsible decision we could make given the circumstances.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email gaby@winningpokernetwork.com.

Win your way to a wild weekend of poker and partying in San Jose, Costa Rica

It’s time to pack your bags and leave your significant other at home. We’re bringing The Cage Live to the Taormina Hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica, every other month. Experience two days of intense action on and off the felt in this adults-only event.

Think you have the stamina to handle the fun and intensity? We’re giving you plenty of chances to win your $8,340 prize package. It includes your $5,250 Cage Live buy-in, a $340 for cash games, hotel accommodations, airfare and spending cash.

Have you entered the Cage?

The Cage is a time-based cash game in the tournament format. Don’t miss your chance to pound your opponents and really let loose in the Costa Rica capital.

Win 1 of 2 $8,340 packages every Sunday night

We’re awarding two Cage Live prize packages guaranteed every Sunday night. Just enter our $55 Beast and Sit & Crush Cage Live satellite at 6pm ET.

You can also earn your satellite entry for free via The Beast and Sit & Crush leaderboards.

Winners of the $8,340 package will receive:

  • $5,000 + $250 Buy-in to Cage Live Event
  • $800 airfare
  • $1,000 spending Cash
  • $340 for Cash Games
  • Up to 3 nights’ accommodation at the Taormina Casino and Hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica
  • Airport Transportation

The Cage Live Structure

  • 2-Day Event
  • Players start with 5,000 in tournament chips.
  • 3 hours Blind Levels.
  • 30 minute break every level.
  • No late registration.
  • No Re-entry allowed.

Play Schedule

Day 1 -> 2 Levels

Day 2 -> 2 Levels

Blinds

  • Level 1 with $10 / $20 blinds and $5 ante
  • Level 2 with $25 / $50 blinds and $5 ante
  • Level 3 with $40 / $80 blinds and $10 ante
  • Level 4 with $50 / $100 blinds and $10 ante
  • *All player’s antes are paid by the button player every hand (Button Ante Format)

Here's how it works:

– Before the event starts, you may purchase an extra $5,250 entry. With the purchase you will receive a $5k chip.

– Until you choose to redeem it, that money is not in play, and you will just be playing with your original $5,000 starting chips.

– At any time during the 2-day event, you may cash your chip in for another $5,000 in chips to be added to your stack (except if you’re in a hand).

– The use of the extra $5,000 is mandatory in the case that you lose all your chips. If you are never stacked during the event, you can opt not to use the $5k chip.

– You may only Double Buy before the Cage Live starts.

– If by the last hand you did not use the extra $5k, the complete amount ($5,250) will be returned to you.

– So if you like to big stack play, or prefer to have an extra bullet in the chamber in case things don’t go your way, the Double Buy Option may be perfect for you.

One thing is for sure, the Cage Live prize pools will soar like never before!

New Double Buy Option!

For the Cage Live, we’re unveiling a brand-new option that’s going to make the prize pools bigger and better than ever before! Introducing the…..Double Buy Option!

Play Schedule

  • Level 2 with $25 / $50 blinds and $5 ante
  • Level 3 with $40 / $80 blinds and $10 ante

Here's how it works:

– Before the event starts, you may purchase an extra $5,250 entry. With the purchase you will receive a $5k chip.

– Until you choose to redeem it, that money is not in play, and you will just be playing with your original $5,000 starting chips.

– At any time during the 2-day event, you may cash your chip in for another $5,000 in chips to be added to your stack (except if you’re in a hand).

– The use of the extra $5,000 is mandatory in the case that you lose all your chips. If you are never stacked during the event, you can opt not to use the $5k chip.

– You may only Double Buy before the Cage Live starts.

– If by the last hand you did not use the extra $5k, the complete amount ($5,250) will be returned to you.

– So if you like to big stack play, or prefer to have an extra bullet in the chamber in case things don’t go your way, the Double Buy Option may be perfect for you.

One thing is for sure, the Cage Live prize pools will soar like never before!

New Double Buy Option!

For the Cage Live, we’re unveiling a brand-new option that’s going to make the prize pools bigger and better than ever before! Introducing the…..Double Buy Option!

Now you have the option to buy an extra $5,000 in chips that you can use any time throughout the event.

CAGE LIVE EVENTS (all local times):

– WPN offices on Saturday at 10am (We’ll meet players in the Lobby at 10:00am)

– Dinner at the hotel on Friday night at 7pm

– Live music at the bar in the casino on Saturday night, at 8pm
