THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER® RELEASES WSOP® PARADISE DAILY EVENT SCHEDULE
The World Series of Poker (WSOP), in partnership with GGPoker, today unveiled the daily event schedule for its recently-announced new winter series, WSOP Paradise, which will run from Dec. 3-14 at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Players looking to travel to the series and buy into the tournament directly can now book their stay at Atlantis Paradise Island via a “players exclusive” offer.
For players looking to qualify online, 1,000 packages can be won for the Main Event, including an 11-night hotel stay at Atlantis Paradise Island, a $5,000 tournament buy-in, and daily complimentary lunch buffet access. GGPoker also announced a commitment of 200 packages to be won for the GGMillion$ event, including an 11-night upgraded stay in Atlantis’ The Cove or The Reef, a $25,000 buy-in, and daily complimentary lunch buffet access.
Additionally, the Mystery Millions event will use GGPoker’s OnLive format allowing players to participate in online Day 1s and fast-forward into the money before arriving on-site in the Bahamas.
Furthermore, players in the upcoming Millionaire Maker in Paradise event, part of GGPoker’s WSOP Online 2023 series (Aug. 20 to Oct. 2) will also have the opportunity to win their way from the online felt to the Bahamas; play will pause once 100 participants remain in that event and resume on Dec. 4 at Atlantis Paradise Island.
For specific information on times of WSOP Paradise qualifiers, which begin later this month, players should check within the GGPoker client.
WSOP Paradise builds on the momentum generated by the record-breaking 54th annual WSOP, which took place at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip this summer. Featuring 15 bracelet events in total, the series will be headlined by more than $50 million in guaranteed prize pools, including a $5,000 Main Event with a $15 million total prize pool guarantee and a $1,500 Mystery Bounty with a $5 million guarantee.
“It’s official, WSOP Paradise is set to deliver an unforgettable new winter series with our jam-packed schedule,” said Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the World Series of Poker. “We can’t wait for cards to be in the air in paradise this December, and we look forward to crowning our first Main Event champion at Atlantis Paradise Island. Whether you made the trip to Vegas or not, you don’t want to miss out on what we’ve got in store with our partners at GGPoker.”
