We held our first-ever stops in Beijing, Japan, and South America, returned a televised WPT Main Tour event to Europe, and broke ground in the burgeoning region of India. “Season XVI was our most tremendous season yet. “As the WPT closes out a historic 16th season, the World Poker Tour is proud to announce the 2018 leg of the Season XVII schedule,” Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker Tour, said. Instead, the WPT recently announced the roster of events that will carry them through the end of 2018 and to approximately the midpoint of their Season XVII schedule. Although they just wrapped up a highly successful Season XVI schedule, the World Poker Tour isn’t sitting back and letting the World Series of Poker steal the spotlight.
