The World Poker Tour (WPT) confirmed the first half of next year's schedule, issuing the date for twelve WPT and WPT Prime events in the first six months of 2024.
The schedule has three U.S. stops on it—one each at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, OK; the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, FL; and Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln, CA. The international stops include a Virgin Voyages cruise ship in the Caribbean (WPT Voyage and WPT Voyage Prime) and multiple stops in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
“As we approach both the end of Season XXI and the WPT World Championship, we are proud to share the schedule for the first half of Season XXII,” WPT CEO Adam Pliska told the press. “We worked vigorously with our casino partners to solidify dates for these impressive, value-packed festivals so that players can plan their 2024 schedules.”
If you are in the process of planning your 2024 poker calendar, the first event to pay attention to is the WPT Cambodia at NagaWorld in Phnom Penh.
The WPT Cambodia festival dates are confirmed as January 17 to 30, with the main event—the WPT Cambodia $3,500 Championship—kicking off on January 25.
Meanwhile, players in the U.S. get their first shot at a WPT Main Tour event in March, with the return of WPT Rolling Thunder to Thunder Valley Casino Resort in sunny California on March 7.
The Rolling Thunder festival will keep on rolling until March 26, with the main event sparking up on March 23. The main event will cap the whole thing off, with the tournament's final table playing out on the festival's final day.
Of particular interest, this coming year is the first-ever WPT Voyage and WPT Prime Voyage festivals. These overlapping events will take place aboard Virgin Voyages’ ship the Valiant Lady.
This 1,400-cabin cruise ship is set to pull out of the Port of Miami on March 31, carrying a cargo of poker players with it. The ship is set to return to Miami on April 6, with new WPT and WPT Prime champions aboard.
In Europe, there will be four WPT stops, one each in France (WPT Prime Aix-en-Provence from January 26 to February 5), the Netherlands (WPT Prime Amsterdam from March 15 to 23), Slovakia (WPT Prime Slovakia—main event starts April 11), and the mid-season finale in Sanremo (WPT Prime Sanremo—main event starts June 6). All four events are within the Schengen area for maximum convenience.
Another popular event is likely to be the third ever WPT Prime Vietnam, which returns to the Crown Poker Club in Hanoi, Vietnam for a ₫25,000,000 ($1,062) Championship scheduled for May 23.
