Ninety-Six Bracelets To Be Handed Out In One Day!

Six years of World Poker Tour Champions will be presented with custom made bracelets during WPT Ceremony of Champions at Bellagio

Wednesday 9th April 2008



The World Poker Tour has announced they will host the WPT Ceremony of Champions at the “O” Theatre at Bellagio on 21st April. The ceremony will honour the 96 WPT Champions crowned during the first six seasons on tour. In addition to highlighting players’ achievements, some of the historic events and winning moments from the first six seasons, WPT also commissioned Tiffany & Co. to design a personalised titanium and diamond bracelet for each Champion.

“There are so many incredible stories to celebrate from the six World Poker Tour seasons and we are thrilled to pay tribute to each of our WPT Champions,” said Steve Lipscomb. “The championship bracelet has become synonymous with poker as a symbol of achievement and respect, and we are honoured to continue the tradition that Benny Binion began over 30 years ago.”

Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten will be the Masters of Ceremony at the private event, having commentated on every one of the 96 events since Gus Hansen won the first ever event, which was held at Bellagio itself.
