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?
