The World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2023 concluded on a grand note in Las Vegas, with Daniel Weinman taking home the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship title. The 35-year-old earned a massive $12,100,000 in prize money after clinching the Main Event title. Following the grand success of the record-breaking festival, WSOP is all set to bring the heat with its first-ever WSOP Paradise in December 2023. The event will run at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
Serving as an ideal platform for no-limit hold’em high Rollers and mid-stakes tournament players, the upcoming festival kicks off on December 3 and runs through December 14. There are an impressive 15 bracelet events on the schedule, including 12 no-limit hold’em and 3 PLO events.
Key Highlights
The upcoming series features a $50 million prize pool over 15 bracelet events. The series will begin with a $1,500 buy-in Mystery Millions with a $5,000,000 prize pool. The next day will bring a second $5,000,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tourney ($1,500 Millionaire Maker).
