WSOP Paradise returns with a $50 million guaranteed Main Event

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The World Series of Poker is heading back to paradise this December for the second rendition of its winter tournament series, WSOP Paradise. Made possible through a partnership with GGPoker, WSOP Paradise 2024 will take place from 6 to 19 December 2024, at Atlantis at Paradise Island Resort and Casino in the Bahamas and feature the largest guarantee in live poker tournament history.

The series kicks off just months after the WSOP once again shattered live tournament poker records at the 55th annual World Series of Poker, which produced another historic series at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip this summer.

The reimagined WSOP Paradise festival will feature the most comprehensive set of high roller and super high roller tournaments ever offered. While full details on the schedule will be released at a later date, events will range from $2,500 to $1,000,000.

The definitive headliner of the series will be the $25,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em championship, which will have a historic $50,000,000 guarantee and be billed as the Super Main Event. Online qualifiers and tournament promotions will begin immediately on GGPoker.

“The action we saw during the WSOP summer series is a testament to the health of poker, particularly for high-roller tournaments,” said Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP. “Last year was no one-time gimmick. We’re thrilled GGPoker has reaffirmed their commitment to building WSOP Paradise through the biggest guarantee in poker history.”

“This is one you can’t miss,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “There were a lot of learnings from year one and everything is going to be bigger and better. A 50 million guarantee in the Bahamas! Are these guys crazy?”

“We are thrilled to welcome back WSOP Paradise players, guests, and fans for the second year to Atlantis Paradise Island, the entertainment capital of the Caribbean. This monumental tournament offers attendees the opportunity to experience Atlantis’ $150 million renovation, including the opulent Atlantis Casino, Bar Sol, The Royal Towers, and several new dining options. See you in Paradise!” said Joe Brunini, Chief Gaming and Customer Development Officer at Atlantis Paradise Island.

The full WSOP Paradise 2024 daily events schedule will be announced later this year, along with details on complimentary hotel accommodations available through special GGPoker tournament packages. The WSOP reserves the right to cancel, change, or modify the tournament or any tournament event, in part or in whole, without notice.
