What follows are televised-hand-by-televised-hand
accounts. Obviously, since it's only a two-hour
show, most hands are not televised so you're going to see a lot of jumping of
the dealer button. For all but the WPT Championship, it will also be
edited to save disk space.
Welcome to the main page for the recaps
of the World Poker Tour's second season and the celebrity
"Hollywood Home Games". Set up by casinos
worldwide and by the Travel Channel, the World Poker Tour is a series
of high-stakes Texas Hold 'Em tournaments, offering some of the
biggest players and biggest payouts in poker history. Click a
tournament link below and get a look at who wins each tournament, how
much is won and how the winner did it!
If you're new to poker or just to Texas Hold 'Em
and need a guide to help you through these (and other poker) recaps, check out

HOLLYWOOD HOME GAME
Taking a cue from Celebrity
Poker Showdown, the WPT brings together Hollywood's finest poker
players this side of Vince Van Patten and has them play for
charities. The difference between CPS and WPT is that, whereas
Phil Gordon is unable to help the CPS players, the WPT players can
actually use a Millionaire-like "lifeline" to call a
poker expert and get advice on what to do. The winner of each
battle gets $10,000 for their charity...AND a $25,000 buy-in to the
WPT Championship!
