Season Nine of the long running television show “World Poker Tour” begins taping today at Bellagio in Las Vegas with a $10,000 buy-in and a potential $1,000,000 first place prize. The Bellagio Cup VI will mark the 123rd open tournament in the WPT’s eight year existence as well as the 179th and 180th televised episodes when the high stakes battle airs as a two-parter in early 2011.
Thought of as a long shot when it was first broadcast on the Travel Channel in 2003, the WPT is now one of the top one hundred longest running shows in the history of television. This season will see the WPT’s total episodes surpass such television greats as I Love Lucy (179 episodes), Seinfeld (180 episodes), The Cosby Show (197 episodes), X-Files (202 episodes) and Little House on the Prairie (203 episodes).
The World Poker Tour currently airs on FSN in the U.S. as well as in 150 countries and territories around the globe. Longtime hosts Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten will be on hand once more to call the action alongside new additions Kimberly Lansing and the Royal Flush Girls. Past champions of the WPT include Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Carlos Mortensen.
