Yes, a woman has won a WPT event. Ema Zajmovic made history in 2017 by becoming the first woman ever to win an open WPT event, claiming victory in the inaugural edition of WPT Playground in Montreal, Canada. She won $146,000 for her historic achievement. Since then, other women have also found success on the WPT, including several deep runs at WPT final tables. Zajmovic’s win remains a milestone moment for women in poker and has inspired more female participation in WPT events worldwide.

In its second year, the WPT Prime Championship at Wynn Las Vegas brought out a stunningly large field of more than 10,000 entries, creating a prize pool of more than $10.1 million — more than double the $5 million guarantee. The $1,100 buy-in event became the largest live WPT-branded tournament field in history. The winner took home $1,386,280, with second place earning approximately $800,000 and third place $500,000. The top finishers also received $10,400 seats to the WPT World Championship.

The winner of the 2014 WPT Championship was Keven Stammen, who earned $1,350,000 for his victory. Stammen won the WPT’s $15,400 championship event by defeating Byron Kaverman in heads-up play — a win that remains his largest career prize to date. The 2014 WPT season featured multiple stops leading up to the championship, with top players competing for points and prize money throughout the year. Stammen’s victory added his name to the prestigious list of WPT Champions Club members.

¿Puedo usar software de seguimiento o un HUD? No, está prohibido el uso de software de terceros, incluyendo HUDs y programas de seguimiento, en WPT Global.
