New for WPT Season IX
The show that started the poker revolution is back. The World Poker Tour, the foremost name in high stakes, televised poker action, spent the last year getting a facelift. The show is new, fresh, hip, edgy - familiar enough to satisfy longtime WPT® fans and fresh enough to appeal to a whole new audience.

New Talent
Kimberly Lansing fills the newly created anchor position, serving as the poker world's answer to Bob Costas. Lansing handles interviews, news, moves the show through its paces and throws to the legendary announcing team of Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten to call the action.
Tony Dunst, an irreverent, frank, creative, and young high stakes professional beat out hundreds of hopefuls for the coveted "Raw Deal" commentator position. The Simon Cowell of cards, Dunst's criticism and candor promise to make his Raw Deal segment one of the best additions to this year's WPT broadcast.
New Approach
Coverage from Day 1. The final table is where champions make history, but the real action of any high stakes poker tournament takes place in every hand at every table. This year, for the first time in its long, storied history, the World Poker Tour brings viewers coverage of every tournament from the first hand to the last. See how the biggest names in poker bust out, how the sickest plays impact who stays and who goes home and how the final tablists survived the multi-day gauntlet to earn their place in the top 6.
New Presentation
• 4-color deck. Now each suit is more easily identifiable.
• New theme music, composed by NFL Films' Emmy-Award winning Tom Hedden.
• New statistics.
Royal Flush Girls
Six beautiful, multicultural women, who serve as brand ambassadors for Season IX. Four of the six will be present at every tournament. A favorite of players, the eye-catching Royal Flush Girls will grab viewers' attention from the first second of the broadcast through the championship money presentation.
Each tournament stop will be telecast over two episodes, with the first two installments on Sunday, Feb. 13 and Sunday, Feb. 20 covering the popular Bellagio Cup VI, from the Bellagio Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
