On Nov. 2, WPT Enterprises (NASDAQ:WPTE) released third-quarter earnings for the period ended Oct. 1.

  • Revenues grew 176%, driven by the delivery of nine episodes of Season 1 of the PPT television series.
  • Net income includes a $4.5 million gain on sale of PokerTek (NASDAQ:PTEK) stock.
  • Steve Lipscomb, founder and CEO, said that the anticipated relaunch of the Internet gaming site in 2007 will further improve its performance.
  • Congress' attempts to stifle online poker did not affect WPTE, since it does not accept wagers from U.S. players.
