2023 World Series of Poker Shatters Multiple Records in Las Vegas This Summer

Published

on

 

54th annual tournament delivers the largest WSOP Main Event in
history, record prize pools and attendance records in more than ten events

Following eight historic weeks of non-stop play, the 54th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) officially concluded at the Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas on July 18. The 2023 tournament was nothing short of incredible, shattering twelve long-held records including the largest Main Event entrant field in the history of the WSOP and surprising with celebrity appearances from the likes of chef and restaurateur Guy Fieri, WNBA all-star guard Kelsey Plum, boxing champion Ryan Garcia, former soccer star Sergio Aguero and more.

The summer’s action concluded with Daniel Weinman’s historic Main Event win, making him the first American to take home the World Champion title since 2018 and cementing him in poker history as the player to take down the largest Main Event field ever.

“Poker is back and it never went anywhere,” the Senior Vice-President and Executive Director for the WSOP, Ty Stewart, said. “Establishing records all summer long and crossing the unthinkable 10,000 entry mark is huge not just for the WSOP but for the game itself. We look forward to continuing the momentum through the rest of the year with WSOP Circuit Events, WSOP Europe and the new WSOP Paradise. Of course, it’s never too early to plan your trip for 2024.”

2023 WSOP By the Numbers:

* In total, the 2023 WSOP live bracelet events saw a total of 214,641 entries from over 114 different countries with a record-breaking $402,808,892 total prize pool, eclipsing the previous record of $347,941,800 set in 2022.
* The 2023 Main Event attracted a total of 10,043, shattering the previous record of 8,773 and becoming the biggest WSOP Main Event in history with a staggering $93,339,900 prize pool; the biggest in poker history.
* The 2023 WSOP broke attendance records in more than ten events including the Main Event, High Roller 8-Handed, Razz, Monster Stack NLHE, Seniors Event, PLO Championship, Tag Team Championship, Millionaire Maker, Salute to Warriors NLHE, PLO High Roller and Ladies NHLE.
* A total of 32,282 places were paid, setting an all-time record for total payouts in series history.
* This year’s WSOP also set the record for the number of events exceeding million-dollar prize pools, including $1 million (77), $2 million (50), $5 million (19), and $10 million (six).
* This year, 36 players each won more than a $1 million dollar prize; an all-time record.

Although this year’s tournament is over, the action continues with the return of the WSOP-Circuit (WSOP-C) for its 19th season and the newly-announced, first-ever WSOP Paradise, taking place at Atlantis Bahamas from December 3 to 14.

BETER names Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager

 

Award-winning fast-betting content provider strengthens its position in the region with the latest hire

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has strengthened its team with the appointment of Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager.

Juliana, a seasoned business development specialist based in Brazil, has extensive experience in the Latin American iGaming industry. She has previously held various business development positions at Better Collective, Endorphina, Salsa Technology, and other companies. Her expertise was recognized by the G&M News platform, which included her in its Top 5 Women in the Industry 2024 list—highlighting women making significant contributions to the growth of iGaming in the region.

In her new role at BETER, she will drive the company’s expansion across Latin America, forging new partnerships with regional operators and aggregators, particularly in Brazil, where demand for BETER’s content continues to grow.

She will also drive BETER into new LatAm markets where the provider does not currently have a presence while managing relationships with existing partners to ensure they get the most out of the provider’s next-gen content offering.

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Latin America is a fast-moving market with opportunities opening up all the time. To capitalize on these, we need an exceptional specialist, and in Juliana, we have found exactly that. Her expertise and deep market knowledge make her a valuable addition to our team.

“We are already experiencing strong demand for our fast-betting products and solutions across the region. With Juliana on board, we can further identify key operators that would benefit from partnering with us, driving even greater growth.

“I’m delighted to welcome Juliana to the BETER team.”

Juliana Querino commented: “Fast-betting content has become essential for operators in Latin America and beyond, and I’m thrilled to join BETER in expanding awareness of its award-winning portfolio.

“I look forward to helping BETER maximize the full potential of the LatAm market.”
