World Poker Tour Does Away w/ WPT Championship in Favor of WPT Tournament of Champions

The World Poker Tour has announced the second-half schedule for Season XIV, which includes a major change. The WPT Championship is out, and the WPT Tournament of Champions – a $15,400 buy-in invitational reserved for Season XIV champions and WPT Champions Club members only – will serve as the season finale.

The WPT Tournament of Champions will be held at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida from April 21-23 immediately following the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown.

"By combining Season XIV winners and WPT Champions Club members, the season-ending WPT Tournament of Champions will truly be a championship event," said WPT President and CEO Adam Pliska.
