World Poker Tour
  Visit Poker Stars |
In 2002, the Travel Channel took a gamble on a unique concept for a television show: every week they would air a final table of six players from a different poker tournament. The show was popular, and when Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event, the World Poker Tour was a genuine hit. The World Poker Tour follows a series of big buy-in tournaments across the globe (primarily the in the United States). While the line-up changes year-to-year, the tournaments are vastly popular and attract large fields with massive prize pools.

The 2006-2007 lineup began at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada in May and will finish at the Bellagio in April. Buy-ins for the tournaments range from $1000 to $10,000, with the exception of the WPT World Championship event. Held each year at the Bellagio, this tournament comes with a $25,000 price of admission, but it’s worth it: last year’s World Poker Tour champion, Jospeh Bartholdi, walked away with $3,735,950.
