Live poker events

Although poker on the Internet has grown enormously over the last years, it doesn’t mean that people have stopped playing in live poker events; on the contrary. Live poker is bigger than ever and thousands of players participate in the large events every year: World Series of Poker (WSOP), World Poker Tour (WPT), and European Poker Tour (EPT). Here, we’ll take a deeper look into the biggest live poker tournaments.

WSOP

World Series of Poker is the grandfather of poker tournaments and started in the early 1970s – long before most people knew what a computer was, let alone Internet poker. Winning the WSOP Main Event is the biggest thing you can do in poker and it grants you a page in poker-history books. Poker Junkie provides WSOP news, articles about previous events, and guides you to the best WSOP satellite poker sites.

WPT

World Poker Tour is a major reason why poker boomed in the early 2000s; or more specifically, the televised WPT events. WPT is made up of a number of individual tournaments around the world. Players collect points in these events and at the end of the year, a WPT champion is crowned. This title has gone to poker celebrities such as Howard Ledered, Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu.

EPT

European Poker Tour is, as the name implies, the European version of World Poker Tour. The first EPT tournament was played in 2004, and the buy-ins were a bit cheaper than in EPT’s sister tournament on the other side of the pond. In the last seasons, however, the stakes have been raised and EPT has finally received the recognition the tournament deserves.
