The countdown has begun for the 2025 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, where poker players from around the world will compete for one of the richest titles in the game. In last year’s event, Scott Stewart emerged champion after topping a field of 2,391 players to capture $2,563,900 and the Mike Sexton Memorial Trophy. This year, through satellites on WPT Global, players can follow in his footsteps for as little as $1 and win a $12,400 package to Las Vegas.
