The first season of the World Poker Tour was aired to the mainstream on the Travel Channel on U.S cable TV in spring 2003. Still running today, the show has been running for 18 seasons. Many have credited the brand with helping to ignite the poker boom. The largest win in a WPT event is the $3,970,415 paid to Spaniard Carlos Mortensen for winning the season-ending WPT Championship for season 5.
