WSOP Express

It couldn’t be easier! And if you’re one of those eager to play in a WSOP event, how about aiming at the WSOP Paradise?

This year’s edition — running December 4 – 18 — will feature a whopping $60 million prize fund guarantee.

Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of the WSOP, said in a press release:

“They called us crazy last year for launching the Super Main Event with the biggest live tournament guarantee ever, so consider this a re-raise.

“”WSOP Paradise is here to stay, and we’re making poker history once again, with the $60,000,000 guarantee and some new signature events. 

“The expanded partnership with Triton, alongside the new Super Mystery Bounty kickoff event, headlines what is a can’t-miss winter festival.”

WSOP ParadiseWSOP Paradise Festival Highlights

  • Event #1: WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty (December 4) – $2,500 entry (all winners of a WSOP Circuit ring event between July 1 and December 2 will earn an exclusive $5,000 Ticket to Paradise package, which covers entry into Event #1).
  • Event #3: Triton Pot Limit Omaha Main Event (December 5) – $100,000 entry fee.
  • Event #5: Triton Invitational (December 7) – $250,000 buy-in, featuring an evenly divided field of invited business and entertainment figures each paired with a professional poker player guest.
  • Event #9: Triton No Limit Hold’em Main Event (December 9) – $100,000 buy-in.
  • Event #14: GGMillion$ (December 15) – $25,000 buy-in with a $10 million guaranteed prize pool.

Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador, was equally excited about what’s coming up in December:

“I said last year that a $50M guarantee for the Super Main Event was crazy – adding another $10,000,000 on top is freaking insane! WSOP is bringing the biggest high rollers and the best poker experience possible back to Paradise, and I cannot wait to be part of it.”

WSOP-C Montreal

The WSOP action doesn’t end there because GGPoker is firing out even more exclusive online satellites for the upcoming WSOP Circuit Montreal live poker festival hosted at Playground.

Players can win a Main Event ticket for free, beginning their satellite journey on one of GGPoker’s many freerolls.

More than $225,000,000 was won in prize money during the 2024/2025 season, and there will be many lucrative events coming up soon which you can qualify for on GGPoker.

Obviously all eyes will be on the Main Event:

  • Buy-In: $2,500
  • Guaranteed Prizes: $2.2M
  • Day 1 Flights: Day 1A on August 28, Day 1B on August 29 and Day 1C on August 30

Playground’s Vice President of Gaming Operations, Ryan Bevens, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled to host not only one, but two WSOP Circuit events at Playground this year.

“Playground has always been where poker dreams come true, and we look forward to welcoming players from across Canada and around the world to experience the excitement and prestige that only WSOP-C events bring. See you soon.”
