With its 20-year anniversary season wrapping up, the World Poker Tour (WPT) is looking ahead to 2023 and announced a new partnership with France's TexaPoker "to present a strong offering of WPT Prime festivals in Western Europe."

The two-year partnership with TexaPoker, a French tournament operator that was founded in 2008, pledges three poker series each year in 2023 and 2024. The announcement comes on the tail end of a successful 20th anniversary for WPT that will culminate with the upcoming $15 million guaranteed WPT World Championship at the Wynn in Las Vegas.

��Even amidst an incredible 20th-anniversary season, we are preparing for our progression into 2023,�� WPT CEO Adam Pliska said in a press release. ��Partnering with TexaPoker provides us with a wonderful opportunity to return the WPT brand to the French market.��
