Stake Poker announced the No-Limit Hold'em WKC – Bye Day Special IV, starting in two days. The $30 buy-in tournament features an 8-Max table size, a 20,000 chip starting stack, 9 allowed re-entries, and a $146,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Stake Poker has officially announced the upcoming launch of its latest tournament, the World KO Championship (WKC) Bye Day Special IV. Scheduled to begin in exactly two days, the event provides an online option for No-Limit Hold'em players.

The tournament features an 8-Max table size and carries a substantial $146,000 guaranteed prize pool, establishing it as a highly anticipated fixture on the current poker schedule.

Registration for the WKC Bye Day Special IV is set to open on July 16. To accommodate late entrants and those looking to maximize their opportunities, late registration will remain open for 2 hours and 30 minutes following the official start time. The primary entry fee is set at a flat $30 buy-in.

The tournament will operate under an 8-Max table format, meaning each table will accommodate a maximum of 8 players throughout the event. Upon entering the field, every competitor will receive a starting stack of 20,000 chips.

In terms of field constraints, the tournament requires a minimum of 7 players to officially run, while the registration capacity is capped at a maximum of 10,000 players.

For players who lose their initial starting stack during the allowed registration window, the tournament structure permits a maximum of 9 re-entries per player.

Each subsequent re-entry buy-in is priced identical to the initial entry at $30. Players should note that alternative bankroll extensions are restricted, as traditional rebuys are not available and add-ons are not available for this event.

The WKC Bye Day Special IV combines a low-stakes $30 buy-in with a notable six-figure guaranteed prize pool of $146,000.

With its 8-players table layout, deep 20,000 starting chip stack, and extensive re-entry options, the event offers a well-defined competitive structure for online No-Limit Hold'em players when registration opens on July 16 on Stake Poker.
