In the years to follow, the World Poker Tour went from strength to strength, becoming a major live series in the United States and attracting all big-name pros like Daniel Negreanu, Antonio ‘The Magician’ Esfandiari, Doyle Brunson, and many more. The legendary duo of Mike Sexton and Vince van Patten provided commentary and helped make the broadcast as exciting for the viewers as it was for those actually playing the game.

After becoming a major name in the United States, the World Poker Tour continued to expand its reach, establishing events in Europe, Asia, and Australia, becoming a truly global brand, not just in the name but in the presence.

In 2022, the tour went a step further, introducing WPT Prime. Running concurrently with the main WPT Live tour, WPT Prime features mid-stakes tournaments, allowing more players to get the full WPT experience. Just like the main tour, WPT Prime has been a great success.

The same year, 2022, saw the debut of the WPT World Championship, a $10k event that featured an unprecedented $15,000,000 guarantee, which was blown out of the water. In 2023, the organizers shocked the poker world, as the 2023 version of the event guaranteed $40,000,000, setting a new record for the largest-ever guarantee in live poker.
