Each tour stop awards points toward the Player of the Year race, which is awarded to one skillful winner at the end of each season. Players compete for more than just big cashes in WPT events. In some cases, the winner takes home over $1 million, especially in the $10,000 buy-in events such as the Five Diamond World Poker Classic at Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Throughout the year, the WPT hosts events around the world, mostly in the United States, and players compete for massive prize pools. The World Poker Tour is one of the most prestigious poker tours in the world, as the name states.
