The World Poker Tour (WPT) is one of the most popular poker tours around the world with poker pros from all over the globe participating in WPT’s various stops across Europe, America and even Asia. Season I of WPT’s Main Tour was played in 2002-2003 and currently, Season XVI is underway, with WPT making a late addition to their 2017-18 schedule.

On Friday, 19th January 2018, WPT announced the addition of WPT Amsterdam to the Main Tour Season XVI schedule.
