Tournaments of the World Poker Tour
The current season of the WPT, season six, is well underway, with only three tournaments left to be decided. The vast majority of these tournaments are held in the United States and there are currently only three events which take place elsewhere:
- The North American Poker Championship held at the Fallsview Casino on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls
- The Turks & Caicos Poker Classic held at the Player's Club in the Turks Caicos
- The WPT Spanish Championship held at the Casino Barcelona.
Over the years a number of events have been added to the schedule, whilst some have fallen by the wayside and these include the international based tournaments of the Costa Rica Classic, The Grand Prix Paris, the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and the UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic. The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is now part of the EPT.
