Caesars Entertainment has announced the dates for the second WSOP Paradise, set to take place at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas from December 6-19. This event will feature the largest guaranteed prize pool in live poker tournament history, with a staggering $50 million guaranteed in the $25,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Championship.
Partnering with GGPoker, WSOP Paradise will offer a wide range of high roller and super high roller tournaments, with buy-ins varying from $2,500 to $1 million. The schedule for the event is yet to be released, but it promises to be the most comprehensive set of tournaments ever offered in the world of poker.
The inaugural WSOP Paradise last year faced some challenges, including the risk of “bracelet burnout” among players who were already engaged in multiple WSOP festivals, as well as competition from other major tournaments like EPT Prague and the WPT World Championship, which boasted a record $40 million guarantee. Despite these obstacles, WSOP Paradise managed to attract a significant number of players and generate buzz in the poker community.
The success of last year’s event, coupled with the record-breaking turnout at the recent World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, has inspired Caesars to bring back WSOP Paradise for another year. The momentum of the poker industry seems to be on the rise, and the $50 million guarantee for the upcoming WSOP Paradise Main Event is a testament to the continued growth and popularity of the game.
With the excitement building for WSOP Paradise at Atlantis Paradise Island, poker enthusiasts can look forward to a thrilling and competitive tournament experience. Stay tuned for the full schedule and details of the upcoming event, which promises to be a highlight of the poker calendar.
