WPT Season XV Premieres on FOX Sports Regional This Sunday

The World Poker Tour has announced that their highly anticipated 15th season will start airing on FOX Sports Regional Networks starting this Sunday. The 27-episode broadcast kicks-off with the WPT Choctaw event in Durant, Oklahoma. 

Per the World Poker Tour press release, commentators Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten return for the 15th season, joined by WPT Anchor Lynn Gilmartin for her fourth season and WPT Raw Deal Analyst Tony Dunst for his seventh season on the tour. During this season Dunst will spend some time in the commentary booth, as Sexton embarks on a monumental WPT title run. 

The winner of each televised event receives luxurious King Power Unico Carbon and Red watch from Hublot, and a pair of Rose Gold Wireless Over-Ear Element Headphones from Monster Headphones. In addition to these prizes, Hublot’s once again the title sponsor of the Player of the Year race. The winner of that race will walk away with a custom Hublot watch. 

“The World Poker Tour is extremely proud to kick off its historic five-year extension with FOX Sports Networks with the premiere of Season XV of the WPT,” said Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker Tour. “Thanks to our award-winning production team, the World Poker Tour continues to raise the bar as the premier name in internationally televised gaming and entertainment.
