The World Poker Tour has been responsible for a great deal of the heat behind the poker fever that has gripped the globe in recent years. Like the World Series of Poker before it, the WPT offers huge prizes to the pro poker player, but also lowers the barrier to entry for the casual and amateur players.
The World Poker Tour has plenty of events running from just next week well into the start of the New Year. For a sample list of dates and events, see below:
| Date | Event |
| 12/14/06 - 12/19/06 | Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic |
| 01/05/07 - 01/10/07 | PokerStars Caribbean Poker Adventure |
