About the World Poker Tour

The poker world is going prime time! The goal of the World Poker Tour (WPT) is to transform tournament poker into a sport and gain mass audience appeal, just as the PGA Tour did for golf and NASCAR did for stock car racing.

The WPT will consist of 13 of the world's most prestigious poker tournaments (including the PartyPoker Million II March 1-8, 2003) in the first nationally broadcast poker series ever, beginning in January 2003. The WPT championship final (to be held at Bellagio in April 2003) will be a $25,000 buy-in no limit Hold'em tournament that is destined to be the biggest event in poker history.
