Celebrate Team LearnWPT's 2025 WSOP Summer Success!

WSOP-TJ-Sue-Tamar-Sean

🎬 That's a Wrap!

As the excitement fades from another thrilling World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to every LearnWPT student who helped make this summer season of poker exciting. We are proud of your progress and are grateful to have you in the LearnWPT Family.

This summer LearnWPT students collectively cashed in 40+ events during the WSOP, reached 3 final tables, and earned more than $200,000! Whether you achieved the goal of participating in your first WSOP event or secured your first cash prize, we've enjoyed hearing about everyone's successes on the felt this summer. Congrats 👏👏

In the past 3 years during the summer in Vegas, LearnWPT Students (like Sean, T.J., Tamar, and Sue!) have achieved:

WSOP Gold Bracelets: 3
Around Town Win: 1
WSOP Final Tables: 6
Around Town Final Tables: 9
Cashed For: $1,798,247
Let's start getting ready for 2026!

During the 2025 World Series of Poker, thousands of poker players descended on the Las Vegas Strip for 7 weeks of summer tournament action looking to win a prestigious WSOP Bracelet (and some cash!), including LearnWPT Instructors and Students.
