As March gets underway, the World Poker Tour is still playing out its Season XVIII main tour and WPTDeepStacks.
The WPT’s main tour is near its home office at the L.A. Poker Classic and heading to Thunder Valley in the northern part of the state for WPT Rolling Thunder. From there, it will head to Las Vegas, Barcelona, Florida, Oklahoma, and back to Las Vegas to finish its season.
