The World Poker Tour has released details of the 15th Annual Main Tour stop schedule. The Tournament of Champions remains, and the Dominican Republic replaces tour stops in Johannesburg and Vienna.

After 21 Main Tour stops, and over $50m in prizes handed out to over 12,000 quavering hearts, Season XIV of the World Poker Tour (WPT) remained one of the major institutions in the world of poker.

We nearly saw our first female WPT Player of the Year (POY) as the Global Poker Index (GPI) top-ranked female poker player in the world, Cate Hall, pushed the eventual winner Mike Shariati all the way.

And we witnessed the most incredible Cinderella story as Farid Yachou won the WPT Amsterdam Main Event and the inaugural Tournament of Champions in his first live poker tournaments of his life.
