Season five of the World Poker Tour (WPT) has just ended with Carlos Mortensen winning the championship event. Now, season six is upon us with the start of the Mirage Poker Showdown.

In total, 10 events will be played at the Mirage in Las Vegas from May 8 to May 23.

The action starts off on Tuesday with a $500+$40 No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournament, and ends with the $10,000 championship event, which starts May 19.

Last year, 384 players competed for a prize pool of $3,724,800 in the main event. Stanley Weiss walked away with the $1,320,255 first prize ahead of Harry Demetriou (pictured) and Devin Porter.
