WPT Founding Event Holds Final Final Table

The very first World Poker Challenge was the first World Poker Tour event back in 2003, and this year it will be the last time it is held. The World Poker Challenge has been running since 2001, but it did not make it on to the 2009 WPT schedule. Next year will be the seventh season for the WPT, which is credited for bringing about the poker boom. Last year J.C. Tran broke a career WPT dry spell by winning the event and $708,973. This year the buy in to the event is $7,500.
