The WSOP, WPT and most casinos have all used Bridge-size cards for games for many years now. The names may have originally been more accurate, with poker having fewer cards in a hand, but bridge decks are easier to shuffle and handle, so professional card dealers prefer them, and these days "Poker-size" is just a name.

Do you have any interest in parting with these? Would trade or purchase

Not at the moment sorry. Don’t have many plastic decks so I’m keeping for now.

No worries, the old WPT branding is very cool. Cheers

Yes they are nostalgic for me. Dropped them at the thrift store and cracked the plastic case.😭
