Below are the results of season 18 of the World Poker Tour (2019–21). There were 29 scheduled events.[ 1]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic , several events on the schedule were postponed. In addition, three final tables that were supposed to take place at the HyperX Esports Arena at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas were also delayed.[ 2]
In January 2021, the WPT returned with the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open, the first live event since March 2020.[ 3] The three final tables that were delayed were played in either March or May, more than a year after the lineup was set.[ 4]
The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, the final event on the schedule, set a new record for the largest WPT event with 2,482 entrants.[ 5]
