WPT Enterprises, Inc, the
creator of the World Poker Tour (WPT), will be hitting
the marketing expos and more on full throttle. Not only
will the company be marketing its worldwide hit series
to international broadcasters, but the company will be
revealing its newest quest, the Professional Poker
TourSM (PPT). It is a new TV series that will further
poker mania by featuring all pros all the time. Only the
top 250 players will be showcased.
The idea is to feature pros in
order to attract a larger audienece. Players must
qualify for their PPT card based on a point system that
takes into account previous performances. TV viewers can
expect to see such names as Gus Hansen, Carlos
Mortensen, Doyle Brunson, Annie Duke, Daniel Negreanu,
Bobby Baldwin, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Tom McEvoy,
Men Nguyen, Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, David Ulliott, Mel Judah, Erick Lindgren, Huck Seed, Carlos Mortensen, Chris
Moneymaker, Phil Laak and more.
The game will stay the same, but
the shows on TV will be totally different from
the WPT. The PPT has a differen crew hosting,
including Mark Seif, who won two gold bracelets
at the 2005 WSOP not to long ago. The PPT shows focus
not just on the Final Table, but also highlights in the
preliminary rounds
