About The WPT:
The World Poker
Tour is the most popular TV show about
poker. The viewers get to watch the hole
cards of the players, therefore follow
the action from the player’s
perspective. A major part of the attraction
is the high quality of the poker that is
filmed. All tournaments are high buy-in tournaments
and the players are some of the best players
in the world. But the tournaments are open
for anyone to enter so occasionally an amateur
reaches the final table and battles it out
against the poker professionals.
The first episode of the World Poker Tour
was recorded at the Bellagio in Las Vegas
in 2002. The tournament was The Diamond World
Poker Classic and it had 146 entrants that
all paid an entrance fee of $10,000 each.
From that point it just went on, season 1
contained another 12 episodes recorded at
major tournaments. Most of them around the
United States except three recorded in the
Caribbean, and one in France. The tournaments
were held between June 2002 and April 2003.
The last event of the season was held at
the Bellagio where it all started. The last
event of the season is called the World Poker
Tour Championship and costs $25,000 to enter.
This is one of the most prestigious tournaments
in the world to win.
Some extra episodes have been added due
to the high popularity of the show, for example
have charity free-rolls with Hollywood celebrities
been held and also have tournaments with
former winners playing each other been shown
on TV. In 2004 a new branch started of the
WPT and it is called the Professional Poker
Tour. The PPT is an invitational tour where
poker professional only are invited to play
without having to pay a buy-in.
World Poker Tour is a name that will always
be remembered for bringing the game of Poker
into the homes of millions around the world.
The unique concept of filming the final tables
of some of the major poker events around
the world, with the aid of a camera on the
felt to let those viewers know exactly what
cards the players are holding, makes the
game that so much more exciting. The Travel
Channel wasted no time in snapping up this
entertainment and it has now been hailed
as one of the most sucessful programs on
the Travel Channel with over 5 million viewers
watching some of the televised events.
