WSOP® PARADISE 2025 TO BREAK RECORDS AGAIN WITH $60MGUARANTEED SUPER MAIN EVENT AT ATANTIS PARADISE ISLAND

The World Series of Poker winter series boasts the biggest prize guarantee in live poker history



PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (July 21, 2025) – Atlantis Paradise Island, the most iconic resort in the Caribbean, will host the third annual World Series of Poker (WSOP® ) this December. WSOP revealed electrifying details of its highly anticipated WSOP Paradise winter tournament series, headlined by the $60,000,000-guaranteed Super Main Event - the largest prize guarantee in live poker tournament history. This monumental series is set to transform the resort into poker’s ultimate winter playground from Dec. 4 through Dec. 18, hosted in exclusive partnership with GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, and Triton, the leading high-stakes tournament organizer.

This third annual iteration of the WSOP Paradise festival will again showcase an unparalleled set of high roller and super high roller events. The tournament schedule will be jointly curated and hosted by WSOP and Triton Poker, ensuring a world-class experience for all players.

“Each year, WSOP Paradise at Atlantis Paradise Island continues to soar. From the electric atmosphere and high-stakes action to the passionate fans and unforgettable moments, the tournament is quickly becoming the can't-miss, most soughtafter event of the poker season. With ever-growing prize pools — including a record-breaking $60 million guarantee for the Super Main Event — all set against the iconic backdrop of the world-renowned Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, there’s truly nothing else like it,” said Joe Brunini, Chief Gaming & Customer Development Officer, Atlantis Paradise Island.

The festival's undisputed crown jewel is the No Limit Hold’em Super Main Event Championship, with a buy-in of $25K. This record-setting tournament boasts an astounding $60,000,000 prize guarantee - a full $10,000,000 higher than last year’s landmark event. In 2024, Yinan Zhou famously outlasted a 1,977 field to claim his first coveted WSOP bracelet and the $6M winner’s prize.

Other festival highlights include:

  • Event #1: WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty (Dec. 4) - $2,500 buy-in (all WSOP Circuit ring event winners from July 1 through Dec 2. will receive an exclusive $5K Ticket to Paradise package that includes entry to Event #1)

  • Event #3: Triton Pot Limit Omaha Main Event (Dec. 5) - $100K buy-in

  • Event #5: Triton Invitational (Dec. 7) - $250K buy-in (the field will be evenly split between invited players from the worlds of business and entertainment, and their professional poker player guests)

  • Event #9: Triton No Limit Hold’em Main Event (Dec. 9) - $100K buy-in

  • Event #14: GGMillion$ (Dec. 15) - $25K buy-in - $10M prize guarantee

“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,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP. “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.”

Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador, added: “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.”

“We’re thrilled to return to WSOP Paradise and bring the Triton experience back to this part of the world,” said Andy Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Triton Poker Series. “WSOP Paradise is a truly exciting stop for us at Triton, and we’re proud to be part of it once again.”

Players can satellite into the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event exclusively at GGPoker, with Road to Paradise qualifier tournaments already live in the GGPoker tournament lobby and more qualifier options set to launch in the coming weeks with WSOP Express. Winning players will secure a $30K WSOP Paradise Super Main Event package, which includes their SME $25K buy-in, a special rate for accommodations, complimentary meals, and more.

Atlantis recently completed a $250 million resort-wide transformation with updates to guestrooms, restaurants, lounges and the Atlantis Casino. The 85-table, 700-game casino, a landmark feature of the resort, has been updated to highlight sculptures by renowned artist Dale Chihuly and the area’s beloved murals, refitted with a custom carpet drawing on the jewel tones seen in the casino’s recognizable art, and overall given a modern yet classic feel incorporating Atlantis’ signature design elements. The Atlantis Casino is also home to several of the resort’s finest food and beverage options, including Nobu, recently opened Bar Sol, inspired by the late Sol Kerzner's passion for Bahamian artists, music, and entertainment, an upgraded Moon Bar, and Silan, by James Beard Award-winning chef Alon Shaya.
