"Just a few million short" - Adam Pliska talks to LemOn36

Hear from the boss of the World Poker Tour about 2024 plans, the WPT business model, and THAT $2.4 million overlay.





Before coming home from Las Vegas our very own LemOn36 spoke to World Poker Tour CEO Adam Pliska about the $40m guaranteed WPT World Championship. 

They spoke immediately after the event incurred the second-biggest overlay in poker history:

The two discussed:

  • The World Poker Tour business model
  • That $2.4 million overlay
  • The Big One for One Drop
  • What to expect from the WPT in 2024

If you had FOMO from the WPT World Championship this year, this is the video to watch if you want to attend in 2024. 

The next bucket list event for the World Poker Tour is the WPTVoyage Cruise Ship experience in 2024. The only place to qualify for that is WPT Global!
