The Professional Poker Tour (PPT) is a series of televised poker tournaments, spinning off from the World Poker Tour (WPT) television series.

On January 30, 2006, the Travel Channel and PPT's parent company, WPT Enterprises, announced that the PPT would air on the Travel Channel in the summer of 2006. Matt Corboy is the lead commentator, with poker pro Mark Seif as color commentator. The Travel Channel aired a "sneak preview", the "first quarter" of the PPT's first Foxwoods Casino event, on March 18, 2006.

Television Format

Events will be telecast across five shows each. The first four shows are labeled as quarters, from 1st Quarter to 4th Quarter, reflecting early-round play in the event. The final six-player table is the fifth show of the cycle.
