The inaugural WSOP Paradise, an additional winter series initiative conceived by the World Series of Poker, concluded at Atlantis Paradise Island on December 14. The champion was named Stanislav Zegal. Zegal emerged victorious from a population of 3,008 participants to earn an exclusive WSOP Paradise Main Event gold bracelet and $2 million in cash. This highly anticipated poker tournament is currently being live-streamed by GGPoker and will eventually be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network. The total prize money, which surpassed $70 million, was awarded in fifteen bracelet events, all of which were held in the picturesque Bahamas.
Following the success of WSOP Paradise, everyone’s attention has shifted to the 2024 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. This is the ultimate poker event, and preparations are already underway. The WSOP has officially revealed the dates for the 55th annual summer competition, which will feature a $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship. This prized tournament is a hub of poker activity, with top professionals from around the world preparing their hearts and minds for combat on the playing field while honing themselves from the inside out. In terms of prize money, the 2023 WSOP was likewise a record year. The series alone awarded almost $400 million in prizes. With 10,043 entries, the biggest event was the summer’s biggest draw. Daniel Weinman won the title and walked away with a whopping $12.1 million.

He highlighted that 2023 was a great year for the WSOP and the poker community, but it’s time to look ahead. The team is intent on breaking additional records and has been preparing for the 2024 WSOP, which will undoubtedly go down in poker history.
