LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Poker Tour® today announced the second of its Season XVIII Main Tour final tables to be played at the HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas inside Luxor Hotel & Casino.

In addition, the WPT® is proud to announce that the Season XVIII WPT Tournament of Champions presented by Baccarat Crystal will take place from May 31-June 2 inside HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas.

The first final table, taking place on May 28, is the conclusion of the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown. The first five days of the event will take place from May 1-5 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. The defending champion of the event is James Carroll, who defeated a field of 1,360 entries to win his second WPT title in a final table played at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas last season.

Next, the WPT Choctaw final table plays to a winner on May 29. The event kicks off at Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, OK from May 15-18. Craig Varnell became the first player in WPT history to win a WPT500 and WPT Main Tour title last season when he won the Season XVII WPT Choctaw event to claim the $379,990 first-place prize.

The $15,000 buy-in WPT Tournament of Champions presented by Baccarat Crystal caps off the events at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas. This premier event on the WPT schedule moves to HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas for the full duration of the tournament, with the final table closing out Season XVIII on June 2. Ole Schemion beat a field of 76 WPT Champions last season to win the $440,395 first-place prize after overcoming WPT Commentator Tony Dunst heads up.

Each of the three final tables will be filmed for FOX Sports Networks to be broadcast in four, one-hour episodes.

The partnership between WPT and Baccarat Crystal marks the second season for Baccarat Crystal as the official naming rights sponsor of the WPT Tournament of Champions. Baccarat Crystal will continue to be the official sponsor of the winner’s toast at every televised event in Season XVIII, because everything tastes better in Baccarat.
