The 2024 WPT Voyage has officially arrived back at its starting destination, having awarded over $1.5 million in total cash prizes and crowned several new World Poker Tour title holders in the process.

Following is an event-by-event summary of the live poker tournaments that took place on Virgin Voyages’ Valiant Lady cruise ship between March 31st and April 6th, 2024.

2024 WPT Voyage Tournament Results

Live poker tournament action began on the evening of March 31st Eastern Time with the $2,500 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Turbo event.

Once the dust had settled, high stakes rounder Taylor von Kriegenbergh of Massachusetts had outlasted a field of 86 entries to collect a $58,319 first place prize.

The win places von Kriegenbergh even closer to achieving $5 million in career live poker tournament cash prize winning, according to The Hendon Mob .

On April 1st, the $5,000 buy-in 2024 WPT Voyage championship tournament began, which quickly filled up the sea-faring poker room.

Cards are in the air for Day 1 of our $5,000 @WPT Voyage Championship! Players start with 50,000 chips and 40-minute levels for Day 1, with Day 2+ being 60-minutes.

Shortly thereafter, Kenneth Compton picked up his first-ever WPT Seniors title with a $12,379 haul upon outlasting a competitive field of nearly 200 hopefuls.

It was Joshua O’Neal who came out on top of the 2024 WPT Voyage Tag Team event. Joshua received close to $10,000 for winning the event.

Next up, on April 1st, was the 2024 WPT Voyage HORSE tournament , which attracted 30 total players who entered the $660 buy-in live event.

Jesse Hollander blazed a trail through the Mixed Game event and received $7,100 in prize money plus the exclusive trophy upon winning the tournament.

Paul Chung walked away with a $25,062 payday for his victory in the mid-week Pot Limit Omaha event that boasted a $1,100 buy-in and attracted 85 entrants.

Meanwhile, in the highly competitive 2024 WPT Voyage Ladies Event, it was award-winning poker personality, content creator, and player Caitlin Comeskey who collected $10,221 upon surviving a field of 230 opponents.

I won a @WPT title!!!! Thanks to the best rail ever 🫶🥰 pic.twitter.com/EtpE2TPxvA — Caitlin Comeskey (@CaitlinComeskey) April 5, 2024

WPT Executive Tour Director Matt Savage is an award-winning executive within the poker world who’s has received many more accolades for his professional industry role as opposed to his poker playing skills.

However, Matt became a World Poker Tour title holder himself this past week when he won the only tournament he played in while aboard the Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady.

If you are going to only play one tournament @WPT @VirginVoyages you might as well win it!!! 🏆 pic.twitter.com/TsedE7Jjkt — Matt Savage (@SavagePoker) April 5, 2024

Poker player Duy Ho was the first place finisher in the $325 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha tournament during the cruise.

The $1,100 Mystery Bounty event was won by Mitchell Halverson , who took home the lion’s share just over $20K of the $167,000 prize pool. Notching an even bigger payday, however, was Ben Ludlow , who scored the coveted $25K Bounty prize. Ludlow also finished 5th in the event, for an additional $5K+ to further pad his bankroll.

While results of the $10K High Roller Event haven’t been made available as of press time, we spied a very happy and content-looking Dylan Linde cashing in his payslip — celebratory bottle of wine in hand — just before the ship docked back in Miami, for just over $280,000 after taking the event down.

2024 WPT Voyage Main Event and Prime Champions

Brazilian Gregory De Faria punched his ticket into this year’s WPT World Championship in Las Vegas upon winning the 2024 WPT Voyage Prime Main Event.

The most highly coveted live poker tournament prize during the cruise was awarded to high roller Aram Oganyan .

Finally, it was Las Vegas poker pro Brian Battistone who added $304,920 to his career live tournament earnings upon taking down the $25,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em high roller event.

2024 WPT Voyage Deemed a Resounding Success

Based on overall attendance and live poker tournament atmosphere, the overwhelming hope among both those preset as well as those FOMO-ing from home is that the World Poker Tour will consider hosting another WPT Voyage during the 2025 calendar year.

Would this be a fair representation of the response if @WPT were to run a #WPTVoyage again? 😁🙌 pic.twitter.com/uZwsfDvO7y — Lynn Gilmartin (@LynnGilmartin) April 6, 2024

Special thank to Virgin Voyages and the crew of the Valiant Lady for their role in providing approximately 1,800 poker players with an unforgettable experience.

The 2024 WPT Voyage was attended by a full cadre of WPT Ambassadors, including Andrew Neeme , as well as Lynn Gilmartin , Vince Van Patten , and Tony Dunst. Also present were many other industry notables like Aceholes podcaster Nikki Limo , GGPoker’s Game of Gold cast members Olga Iermolcheva and  Lukas “Robin Poker” Robinson , among many others.

Finally, a private game was also held aboard the seafaring vessel, which saw nosebleed-stakes games taking place pretty much every moment the Valiant Lady was sailing through international waters.

While we don’t know the exact results of that exclusive cash game, it’s known that Matt Berkey , Jean-Robert Bellande and Rob Yong were among the participants, that many hundreds of thousands of dollars changed hands… and that all the participants had a blast.

WPT 2024 Ultimate Guide

The complete guide to the 2024 World Poker Tour live schedule, including all the stops and all the ways to qualify online from the US or the rest of the world!

Last updated: April 26, 2024

Today, the World Poker Tour consists of the main tour and WPT Prime. Both series feature a number of stops throughout the year, but the WPT Prime features lower, more affordable buy-ins, catering to players looking for mid-stakes live tournament action.

The pinnacle of the World Poker Tour is the WPT World Championship, an event taking place in Las Vegas, featuring a $10k buy-in and record-breaking guarantees.

On this page, we bring you all the details of the 2024 World Poker Tour live schedule, covering both the main tour and WPT Prime, discussing different ways to qualify for big WPT events, and much more.

What Is the WPT World Championship?

The WPT World Championship is a pinnacle of the WPT Live yearly schedule. Taking place in December in Las Vegas, the Championship offers record-breaking guarantees, with the 2023 version having a massive $40,000,000 promise.

2024 WPT Live Schedule

The 2024 World Poker Tour schedule comprises numerous events taking place all over the world. Each stop features the Main Event with a buy-in of $3,500 – $5,000 and numerous side events.

The WPT has released a full schedule for the 2024, and the table below lists all the completed and upcoming events that have been confirmed.

WPT Cambodia Championship 2024

• Dates: January 25 – 29
• Venue: NagaWorld Integrated Resort, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
• Prize Pool: $2,432,760
• Winner: Konstantin Held ($361,310)

World Poker Tour picked Cambodia as the first destination for 2024, and the event delivered far beyond expectations. The $3,500 Championship event came with a guarantee of $1,000,000 but that goalpost was handsomely exceeded thanks to the 760-strong turnout, which translated into the prize pool of over $2.4 million. Konstantin Held, the eventual winner, took home $361,310 for his efforts.

WPT Rolling Thunder Championship 2024

Casey Sandretto, the eventual winner of the event, took home the lion’s share of that prize pool, pocketing $246,600 for his efforts.

WPT Voyage Championship 2024

• Dates: April 1 – 3
• Venue: On board a cruise ship
• Prize Pool: $1,347,800
• Winner: Aram Oganyan ($214,245)

The 2024 WPT Voyage Championship took place April 1 – 3 on board of a cruise ship, The event had a million guarantee, but that guarantee was blown out of the water as 293 entrants ended up creating the prize pool of well over $1.3 million. After three days of play, the Championship title went to Aram Oganyan, who pocketed $214,245 for his performance.

WPT Seminole Hardrock Poker Showdown Championship 2024

• Dates: April 19 – 23
• Venue: Seminole Hardrock Casino, Hollywood, Florida
• Prize Pool: $5,980,800
• Winner: To be determined in Las Vegas on May 29

The World Poker Tour came back to Seminole Hard Rock Casino for one of the most iconic events on the entire tour, the 2024 Poker Showdown Championship. The Championship event came with a promise of $3,000,000, but that guarantee was blown out of the water as 1,869 entries translated into a prize pool just shy of $6,000,000.

Unlike most WPT Championship event, this one plays down to the final table of six and then breaks. The final six players will come back to Las Vegas to play down to the winner at the televised final table on May 29, 2024.

The final table lineup :

• Dylan Smith – 28,400,000 (142 big blinds)

• Dates: May 3 – 6
• Venue: Choctaw Casino, Durant, Oklahoma
• Prize Pool: TBA

In May 2024, the World Poker Tour will be visiting Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma, for one of its usual live stops. The $3,800 Championship event is currently without guarantee, but the last year’s prize pool exceeded $2.7 million, and there is no reason to think the 2024 tournament will not get similar numbers.

WPT Montreal Championship 2024

• Dates: May 16 – 20
• Venue: Playground Casino, Montreal, Canada
• Prize Pool: $2,000,000

The WPT Montreal Championship event takes place in the second half of May at the popular Playground Casino in Montreal, Canada. With a buy-in of CAD 3,500, the tournament will offer a generous guarantee of CAD 2,000,000. The event marks a big return of the World Poker Tour to the famous Canadian venue and we expect the Championship guarantee to be easily broken.

WPT Macau Championship 2024

• Dates: June 20 – 24
• Venue: Wynn Palace, Macau

For the first time in its 22-year history, the World Poker Tour is heading to Macau, a Chinese region often referred to as Las Vegas of Asia.

WPT Alpha8 Trifecta 2024

• Dates: June 25 – July 11
• Venue: Wynn Casino, Las Vegas

The Aplha8 Trifecta will feature three high-roller tournaments with buy-ins of $25,000 for each event. The three tournaments will take place over the span of two weeks (June 25 – July 11) and will be hosted at the Wynn, one of the largest and most popular Las Vegas casinos that the WPT has been working with for a while.

2024 WPT Prime Schedule

WPT Prime is a fairly recent addition to the World Poker Tour. The series was established in 2022 to complement the main tour, bringing similar excitement and big prize pools but with much more affordable buy-ins.

Usually, a WPT Prime Main Event will feature a buy-in of $1,100, while most side events only cost a few hundred dollars to enter.

WPT Prime has been a massive success, showing constant growth and attracting players in droves, with the 2023 WPT Prime World Championship event attracting over 10,500 entries to blow the initial $5,000,000 guarantee out of the water.

WPT Prime Aix-en-Provence Championship 2024

• Prize Pool: €727,680

In 2023, the tournament attracted an even number of 1,000 entries for the prize pool of €970,000 and the top prize in excess of €160,000.

The event achieved its goal, as it ended up with a total of 1,340 entries, creating the prize pool of almost €1.3 million. The eventual winner, Rutger Hennen picked up €209,775 for his stellar run in the 2024 WPT Prime Amsterdam Championship.

WPT Prime Voyage Championship 2024

• Dates: April 1 – 4
• Prize Pool: $968,000
• Winner: Gregory De Faria ($155,400)

The WPT Prime Voyage Championship took place alongside the main WPT Championship during the first week of April. The Championship event had a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, but by the time it was all said and done, that guarantee was almost doubled. The tournament ended up with a total prize pool of $968,000 created by 968 entries, and the eventual winner took home $155,400.

WPT Prime Slovakia Championship 2024

• Dates: April 11 – 15
• Venue: Card Casino, Bratislava, Slovakia
• Prize Pool: €702,720
• Winner: Fabian Gumz (€117,980)

Card Casino in Bratislava played the host to the WPT Prime Championship from April 11 – 15. The event ended up attracting quite a crowd, with a total of 732 entries, which was more than enough to shatter the €500,000 guarantee. Of those 732 entries, 95 players made the money, sharing in on the prize pool of €702,720. Germany’s Fabian Gumz emerged victorious, pocketing €117,980.

WPT Prime Gold Coast Championship 2024

Proving itself a truly international tour, WPT Prime traveled to Australia for the WPT Prime Gold Coast Championship that took place at The Star Casino, featuring a $2,000 buy-in event.

By the time the registration ended, the tournament clock was showing 1,395 entries and a big prize pool of AUD $2,511,000. Lorenz Schöllhorn was the last man standing in the event, claiming AUD $401,510 for his efforts, including a seat in the WPT World Championship event in December.

WPT Prime Montreal Championship 2024

• Dates: May 12 – 17
• Prize Pool: CAD 1,000,000

The WPT Prime Championship event at Playground Casino in Montreal will be taking place a few days ahead of the main WPT Championship tournament. Bringing both its main tour and the Prime to Montreal, the World Poker Tour is sending a clear message that this is an important destination on the yearly schedule. This is further confirmed by the generous CAD 1,000,000 guarantee for the WPT Montreal Prime Championship.

WPT Prime San Remo Championship 2024

• Dates: June 6 – 10
• Venue: Casino Sanremo, Italy

The first half of the 2024 WPT Prime schedule ends with a WPT Prime event taking place at the Sanremo Casino in Italy. If the last year is anything to go by, we expect a rich schedule of events, plenty of satellites for the Championship and a solid turnout.

2024 WPT World Championship

The WPT World Championship is a pinnacle of the World Poker Tour, usually taking place in December as the final stop of the yearly WPT circuit. The details surrounding the 2024 WPT World Championship are still scarce, but it has been confirmed the event will take place at the Wynn once again, from December 3 – 23, 2024.

The 2023 event featured the biggest guaranteed prize pool in live poker, with $40,000,000 guaranteed and a buy-in of $10,400. Although the event itself fell a bit short of meeting its guarantee, the WPT World Championship Festival was a roaring success.

There was a host of side events taking place during the festival, including the WPT Prime Championship. The $1,100 event blew its $5,000,000 guarantee out of the water, attracting 10,512 entries.

Although all the details for the 2024 WPT World Championship Festival are still not known, the organizers have made it clear they have big plans for this year, and in the coming months, we can expect to see the full schedule and the information on what this year’s World Championship event guarantee will be.

Brief History of the WPT Live

The World Poker Tour was established in 2002, starting with a vision of Steven Lipscomb, an attorney and television producer who wanted to create a poker show that would highlight all the excitement of the game. The first season of the WPT aired the next year, in 2003.

The first season of the WPT Live featured a series of high stakes poker tournament at different venues across the United States, with many well-known players like Howard Lederer and Gus Hansen making appearances and leaving their mark.

In the years to follow, the World Poker Tour went from strength to strength, becoming a major live series in the United States and attracting all big-name pros like Daniel Negreanu, Antonio 'The Magician’ Esfandiari, Doyle Brunson, and many more. The legendary duo of Mike Sexton and Vince van Patten provided commentary and helped make the broadcast as exciting for the viewers as it was for those actually playing the game.

After becoming a major name in the United States, the World Poker Tour continued to expand its reach, establishing events in Europe, Asia, and Australia, becoming a truly global brand, not just in the name but in the presence.

In 2022, the tour went a step further, introducing WPT Prime. Running concurrently with the main WPT Live tour, WPT Prime features mid-stakes tournaments, allowing more players to get the full WPT experience. Just like the main tour, WPT Prime has been a great success.

The same year, 2022, saw the debut of the WPT World Championship, a $10k event that featured an unprecedented $15,000,000 guarantee, which was blown out of the water. In 2023, the organizers shocked the poker world, as the 2023 version of the event guaranteed $40,000,000, setting a new record for the largest-ever guarantee in live poker.

Players will come from far and wide to compete in the $10,400-entry WPT World Championship. In 2023, the prizepool, which had a hefty guarantee of $40 million, paid out a top prize of $5,282,954 to Daniel Sepiol. With a WPT Main Tour attendance record set last December, could the 2024 festival be even bigger?

World Poker Tour Announce WPT Championship to Close Out Season XXII

Last year, Daniel Sepiol turned out to be the champion, winning just under $5.3 million as he took over from Eliot Hudon as the reigning WPT World Champion. It may not be the World Series of Poker Main Event, but it’s getting closer and closer in size and reputation every year.

On the back of the inaugural WPT Voyage, where Aram Oganyan and Gregory De Faria both won life-changing money, the World Championship is going to take things to another level.

“With great pride, we unveil the festival dates for the highly anticipated 2024 WPT World Championship,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska as the dates were announced as December 3 rd – 23 rd 2024. “The tradition continues as we enter our third year alongside the incredible Wynn Las Vegas team, so mark your calendars in preparation for what is sure to be another memorable December.”

The inaugural WPT World Championship was won in December 2022 for an incredible $4.1 million top prize by Eliot Hudon. With a $29 million prizepool, it was eye-watering viewing for poker fans around the world.

Will the $40 million Guarantee Be Back?

“We are ecstatic to continue our partnership with the World Poker Tour for the third consecutive year.”

Having set out to beat the $29 million gathered in the prizepool in 2022, a year later, the bar was set ludicrously high. A guaranteed prizepool of $40 million saw 3,835 players almost make it, with overlay only taking a small nibble into the bottom line at the WPT paid out one of the biggest prizepools in poker history. Daniel Sepiol was the winner, taking home almost $5.3 million as the final table, which featured Andrew ‘Chewy’ Lichtenberger and Chris Moorman played out to hundreds of thousands of fans.

Will the $40 million guarantee be back? There’s no official word yet on that yet. It seems highly likely that there won’t be an increase, given how busy last December was with a trio of top-tier tournaments taking place within days of each other. The European Poker Tour’s Prague Main Event and WSOP Paradise Main Event both impacted on WPT World Championship figure and yet it only just fell short of the guarantee. We’d imagine they aim for $40 million again.

The action will resume at the Wynn in Las Vegas, and Ryan Beauregard, executive director of poker operations at Wynn Las Vegas, couldn’t be happier that the world-famous venue is the host location for the third consecutive time.

“We are ecstatic to continue our partnership with the World Poker Tour for the third consecutive year,” he said. “Over the coming months, we’ll work diligently to craft an event schedule [that] poker players from all over the world won’t want to miss.”

What Are the WPT World Championship Dates?

Wynn Las Vegas are partnering for the third consecutive year to host the WPT® World Championship from December 3-23 at the renowned Las Vegas resort. The festival will serve as the pinnacle of Season XXII of the World Poker Tour and will crown a new World Champion.

Over 23 tournaments in 2023, the WPT World Championship festival awarded no fewer than 14 million-plus prizepools, a testament to the incredible footfall the schedule attracted. Everything was elite, from the tournament structures to the facilities. For many years, the World Poker Tour didn’t visit Vegas as expansively as the World Series of Poker did, for example. All that has changed.

In December of last year, a total of 33,712 entries were recorded across all events. Ove $100 million was awarded in prize money, with the $1,100-entry WPT Prime Championship setting a new record on the World Poker Tour for number of attendees, with 10,512 entries accumulating a $10m prizepool. With its $40m guarantee, the $10,400-entry WPT World Championship promised the biggest prizepool in live tournament poker as a guarantee.

Who knows just how big the 2024 WPT World Championship festival at Wynn Las Vegas will be. We’re going to assume that huge is an understatement.
