It’s my 4th year as a host on the WPT and there are tons of things to love about it. We get to visit very exotic places like Paris, the Caribbean and Foxwoods. The fact that we get to go all around the world is great.
Still, one of the greatest things about hosting the WPT is seeing all the poker players coming out of online poker. These players win satellite tournaments to the WPT and really do well for themselves. They’re fantastic to watch in action.
One of the incredible things about the players in that they keep playing online even when they’re at the WPT. They’ll just go to their hotel rooms in between tournaments and start playing!
In upcoming WPT shows, you’ll get to see tons of these players coming from the online world and winning millions. It’s amazing to see how well they adapt to being in a real game and playing with live players. You can just see how excited they are about it.
I don’t want to name any names – it would spoil upcoming shows - but there are a few online pokers that have come to the WPT and done VERY well for themselves.
