World Series of Poker (WSOP)
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the world’s biggest tournament poker festival, having been started in 1970 by Benny Binion at Binion’s Horseshoe.
Ever since 1970, the WSOP has been played every summer in Las Vegas. Over the years, the Series has changed venues and is currently hosted by Horseshoe and Paris, a pair of Caesars-owned properties on the Las Vegas Strip.
Featuring over 100 WSOP bracelet events, this tournament festival is a true poker extravaganza that offers something for everyone. From $400 NLH events with massive fields to exclusive $250,000 High-Rollers, the WSOP creates more stories each summer than most other poker festivals do in a whole year.
If you want to know all the latest news from the WSOP, make sure to check back with our WSOP page often, as we post all the latest developments from the WSOP in Las Vegas, as well as the annual WSOP Paradise and WSOP Europe festivals in Paradise Island and Rozvadov, Czech Republic.
World Poker Tour (WPT)
Airing since 2002, the World Poker Tour (WPT) is one of the biggest tours on the poker calendar, with events spanning all continents and paying millions of dollars in prize money season after season.
The ownership and the people in charge of WPT have changed over the years, but its mission to be the most complete and well-rounded tour in all of poker has not.
Today, WPT features dozens of events each season, with buyins starting at $300 and going up to $25,000 and above, giving everyone a chance to experience playing in a WPT event at their comfort level.
Whether you are a hardcore poker professional, an aspiring tournament player looking to build up a bankroll, or a recreational poker fan looking to play an enjoyable event, WPT has you covered.
At Pokerati, we cover the WPT all year long, with news and updates from every stop played in America, Asia, Europe, and beyond.
Follow our WPT page for more updates on the most recent WPT events, newly crowned champions, and the unique player stories created at one of the world’s most prestigious poker tours.
PokerGO Tour (PGT)
A relatively new tour on the poker circuit, PokerGO Tour (PGT) has taken the idea of tournament poker as a competition to a new level.
Frequented mainly big-name poker pros, all PokerGO Tour events are played at the luxurious PokerGO Studio, located at the Aria, one of the most prestigious properties in all of Las Vegas.
If you want to see tournament poker at its highest levels, PGT is the best poker tour to watch, as the fields in these events are made up almost solely of the best poker players in the world.
For tournament players looking to move up the stakes and learn how to play like the pros, PGT offers some of the very best training material.
The full coverage of all PGT events is available on the subscription-based PokerGO platform, while plenty of material is available for free via PokerGO’s YouTube channel as well.
Triton Poker Series
Founded in 2016 by Malaysian businessmen and poker enthusiasts Paul Phua and Richard Yong, the Triton Poker Series is today the most exclusive poker tour.
Featuring several extensive poker festivals in Asia and Europe each year, the Triton Poker Series attracts high rollers from all parts of the world, including both professional poker players and wealthy amateurs.
The buyins in the Triton Poker Series exceed what you would find anywhere else, as do the prize pools, which rise into the tens of millions of dollars.
Poker’s most elite players, such as Brynn Kenney, Jason Koon, Dan Smith, and Fedor Holz, are only a few of the regulars in the Triton Poker Series events who regularly showcase their skills in these elite fields.
Much like PGT, Triton Poker Series events allow poker fans and players to see the best players plying their trade and act as amazing learning tools for the up-and-coming players.
Unlike PGT Tour events, all Triton Poker Series streams are available for free via YouTube, which means you can learn from the very best without paying a single cent.

European Poker Tour (EPT)
Originally started by poker legend Jon Duthie in 2004, the European Poker Tour (EPT) has grown into a global phenomenon and one of the biggest poker tours in the world.
Although EPT has hosted events outside of Europe in the past, the Tour’s main focus is on Europe, with stops like Paris, Barcelona, and Monte Carlo being some of the focal points of its seasons.
The EPT is a truly elite competition in which Europe’s most elite poker players come together to compete at high stakes.
Thanks to the Tour being owned by PokerStars, one of the world’s biggest online poker operators, players can win their seats in major EPT events at a fraction of the price, as satellites for each EPT festival run in the lead-up to each spot.
Follow our EPT page for up-to-date information on all things EPT and find out the personal stories of the players involved in the biggest EPT events of each new season.
