The World Poker Tour wraps a historic 2022 season and announces the first WPT Prime and main tour stops for Season XXI, starting in Paris.

We’ve written about it already. The WPT World Championship festival was a historic poker series. So, while all eyes in the poker world were on the World Poker Tour, it was a perfect opportunity to announce some of the initial stops in 2023.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from all of us @WPT!

We can’t wait to see you in 2023!

First, though, it’s important to look at the entirety of the 2022 series of the World Poker Tour. By tracking the Main Event tournaments of each WPT main tour stop and WPT Prime stop, we came up with these numbers:

• WPT main tour: 13,544 entries in 10 events / $70,797,900 paid to 1,700 players
• WPT Prime: 9,651 entries in 6 events / $9,236,275 paid to 1,205 players

The relatively low numbers for WPT Prime are a result of the rebranding of WPTDeepStacks to WPT Prime, with the latter beginning about halfway through the year. Its first full year will be 2023.

Speaking of which, this year’s action will make up Season XXI. For the second year in a row, the World Poker Tour will hold the season in conjunction with the calendar year. And it will combine WPT Prime – the series of mid-stakes buy-ins – with the WPT’s main tour, to offer poker players around the world a variety of live poker options.

Getting Ready for 2023

The WPT’s release of the Season XXI starter schedule came with some expected stops and the results of some new partnerships.

WPT VP of Global Tour Management Angelica Hael thanked all of the live partners worldwide, as well as the players for their support. “It is the pride of WPT to offer such a wide range of tournament festivals when it comes to buy-in and location,” she said.

That brings us to the schedule, per the press release. The dates provided are for the Main Event only, as the dates of the entire festivals remain mostly unpublished so far.
