World Poker Tour - Season One

The World Poker Tour (or WPT as it is also known) is a bunch of poker tournaments that features a lot of the worlds best professional poker players. It is essentially a collection of Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournaments and the television show, which debuted in 2002, is one of the causes for the poker boom over the last 8 years.

The tournaments are open to anyone who wants to buy in, or to those who can win a spot. Here I will go through the tournaments where Gus Hansen has appeared in the final table.
