World Poker Tour season 18 results

Below are the results of season 18 of the World Poker Tour (2019-21). There were 29 scheduled events.[1]

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several events on the schedule were postponed. In addition, three final tables that were supposed to take place at the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas were also delayed.[2]

In January 2021, the WPT returned with the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open, the first live event since March 2020.[3] The three final tables that were delayed were played in either March or May, more than a year after the lineup was set.[4]

The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, the final event on the schedule, set a new record for the largest WPT event with 2,482 entrants.[5]
