¡Ey, qué onda! El WPT Poker, o World Poker Tour, es un tourneyazo de póker que arrancó en 2002 y ha repartido más de $1.35 mil millones en premios. Imagínate mesas en casinos top como Las Vegas o Barcelona, con buy-ins de $3,000 a $25,000 en el Main Tour. Lo cool es que lo ves en TV en 150 países, ¡haciendo famoso el póker pa’ todos!​ El Main Tour es el rey, pero hay pa’ todos: Alpha8 con $100,000+ pa’ high rollers, WPT500 desde $500 pa’ novatos, y Deepstacks de $50 a $2,500.

The WPT 2025 season is hosted at premier venues worldwide. The WPT World Championship takes center stage at Wynn Las Vegas from December 13-21, 2025, featuring a $10,400 buy-in and a multi-million dollar guaranteed prize pool.
