WPBT
Back in the early days of blogging a ragtag group of poker bloggers got together in Las Vegas for a showdown. Some of the biggest names in blogging showed up and played poker until they crowned a champion. These poker bloggers adopted the name World Poker Blogger Tour WPBT and have been throwing a tournament or two a year in Vegas ever since.
WPBT events have included speakers such as Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Barry Greenstein, Tom McEvoy, and many others. We've even had the likes of Marcel Luske, Evelyn Ng, Joe Sebok, and Max Pescatori pop in just to say hi. Hell, Max even stuck around and went deep in the very first WPBT tournament.
You're truly was the very first person out at that inaugural WPBT event but came back strong the very next one and took home 1st place!
