The two largest and most well-known poker tournaments are the World Poker Tour championship event and the World Series of Poker, both held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The World Series has traditionally been featured on ESPN.

The 2005 World Series of Poker was the first held outside of Binion's Horseshoe Casino, though the final few days of the main poker event were held in the legendary Benny's Bullpen. Future poker tournaments have been held at one of the Harrah's Entertainment properties; since 2005, the Rio has served as the host venue.

Arguably the most publicized European poker tournament is the Poker Million, which began in 2000 on Sky Sports, following on from the success of the Late Night Poker television show.

In addition to these poker events, there are other major poker tournaments throughout the year. The World Poker Tour broadcasts a series of open tournaments throughout the U.S. and Caribbean with buy-ins from $5,000 to $25,000, as well as a European poker event with a 10,000 Euros buy-in. Some of these events are stand alone tournaments like the Caribbean Poker Adventure, but most are held in conjunction with a tournament series being held at the host casino, like the Commerce Casino's LA Poker Classic, the Reno Hilton's World Poker Challenge and the Bicycle Casino's Legends of Poker.

Atlantic City hosts The United States Poker Championship at the Trump Taj Mahal casino, which has been broadcast by ESPN in recent years.

The Ultimate Poker Challenge is a show produced for late night paid-programming time slots on WGN & other networks. It was originally hosted at the Plaza Hotel & Casino, but has since moved to Binion's. The current format has a $660 buy-in poker event on Saturdays, and a $340 on Sundays, with the final tables being taped the following day for broadcast. A recent $10,000 buy-in event attracted a rather small field and was won by 22-year-old poker professional Alex Jacob.

The main live poker tournament in Africa is the All Africa Poker Tournament hosted by the Piggs Peak Casino in Piggs Peak, Swaziland.

The Crown Australian Poker Championship also known as the Aussie Millions is fast becoming one of the world's largest poker tournaments. In the 2007 tournament (Won by Gus Hansen) there were 747 entrants and a poker prize pool of AUD$7.47 Million. The poker event has gained sponsorship by Full Tilt Poker and is also filmed for broadcast by FSN.
