But he said he's thrilled to extend partnership deals with two venues that have become popular stops among the WPT customer base. Matt Savage, the WPT's Executive Tour Director, told PokerNews that additional tournaments between now and Choctaw could be added.ĭue to COVID-19 restrictions in place, as Savage acknowledged, locking up deals with venues for major poker events isn't as easy of a task as it was pre-pandemic.

Up next for the WPT is a trip to Durant, Oklahoma. The $3,500 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, similar to the Lucky Hearts, will likely attract a crowd that surpasses 1,000 entrants. The second WPT event scheduled for the first half of the year will take place April 8 at the same casino.

Brian Altman, the Season 19 Player of the Year, is a two-time champion in this annual event.
