Below are the results of season 18 of the World Poker Tour (2019-20). There are 21 scheduled events. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several events on the schedule have been postponed. The World Poker Tour (WPT) is a series of international poker tournaments and associated television series broadcasting the final table of each tournament. Welcome to the official World Poker Tour. A prize pool in excess of $80 million will be split up amongst the final 15 percent of the field, with the winner walking away with eight figures — $10,000,000. The 'money bubble' burst at 1:36am.

The 2020 WSOP $10,000 main event features an unprecedented live-and-online hybrid model, and will essentially play out as two separate events that each begin online and will play until two separate live final tables are set. The two eventual champions determined at those final tables will then square off to determine which will win the championship WSOP gold bracelet and an added bonus prize of $1,000,000 to go along with whatever they won at their initial final table.

The top 80 finishers will make the money in the ‘International Tournament’, with a min-cash being worth $15,277. The final nine players will all earn at least $75,360, with the eventual champion set to take home $1,550,969 along with their chance at the title and the bonus million that is up for grabs.

A total of 179 players survived the three starting flights to make Day 2, which resumes at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, December 7. Play will continue until the nine-handed final table is set. Those players will then reconvene in person to play down to a winner at King’s Casino in Rosvadov, the site of the WSOP Europe for several years now.

2020 WSOP Online main event champion Stoyan Madanzhiev was eliminated from this event on Day 1C. Madanzhiev voiced his frustration with this tournament being marketed as the ‘main event’ after he had already won a tournament that was described as such earlier this year. In a Twitter post he said, “Looking back, If I had known I wasn’t playing the ‘actual’ world series of poker, I probably wouldn’t have reentered. Or maybe even played.”

The counterpart to the ‘International Tournament’ segment of this hybrid event is the ‘Domestic Tournament’. That will begin on Dec. 13 with a single starting flight. The final table will be set the following day, with the in-person finale taking place on Dec. 28.
