The rest of the year saw the WPT return to Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and Hollywood (Florida), Choctaw (Oklahoma), and Bellagio (Las Vegas). The tour followed up with live events that included the WPT Russia in February and WPT at Venetian (Las Vegas) in March. The first WPT Main Tour live event in almost a year ran at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in January 2021. The organizers moved a couple of Main Tour events online in late 2020 and early 2021.

Some of the most significant WPT Main Tour events are broadcast on Bally’s Sports Network in the U.S., making the WPT one of the most prominent mainstream poker brands in the nation. Other WPT-branded events include the WPTDeepStacks (recently rebranded to WPT Prime), WPT500, and WPT National tours. The WPT Main Tour runs as the most prestigious tour under the WPT banner. The WPT began running events in 2002, and the tour has persisted for two decades as one of poker’s most recognizable brands. The World Poker Tour operates as one of the world’s longest-running international poker tours. Last updated: J3:41 pm EDT What is the World Poker Tour?
