The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to return to Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas this December for the WSOP Paradise 2024. Partnering with GGPoker, the event runs from December 6 to December 19, 2024, and features the largest guarantee in live poker tournament history.
After breaking records at the 55th annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this summer with Jonathan Tamaya winning Main Event, WSOP is ready to continue its success in the Bahamas. The reimagined WSOP Paradise festival will offer a range of high roller and super high roller tournaments. Details on the full schedule will be released later, but events will range from $2,500 to $1,000,000.
The highlight of the series is the $25,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Championship, with a historic $50,000,000 guarantee, billed as the Super Main Event. Online qualifiers and promotions will start immediately on GGPoker.
Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP, remarked, “The action we saw during the WSOP summer series is a testament to the health of poker, particularly for high-roller tournaments. 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.”
GGPoker Global Ambassador Daniel Negreanu, who recently won his 7th gold bracelet added, “This is one you can’t miss. 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?”
Joe Brunini, Chief Gaming and Customer Development Officer at Atlantis Paradise Island, expressed excitement for the event, saying, “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!”
