GGPoker & Triton Poker Offer High-Roller And Super-High-Roller Events At 2024 WSOP Paradise
GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, and Triton Poker today unveil details of their partnership for the second iteration of the World Series of Poker® (WSOP) winter tournament series, WSOP Paradise. The live poker festival will take place from Dec. 6 to Dec. 19, 2024 at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas and feature the largest guarantee in live poker tournament history.
Following a well-received debut in 2023, this year’s WSOP Paradise festival will feature the most comprehensive set of high-roller and super-high-roller tournaments ever offered, now curated in partnership with industry leaders GGPoker and Triton Poker.
The Triton Millions event beginning on Dec. 7 is already highly anticipated; the playing field in this tournament will be evenly split between invited players (typically poker enthusiasts successful in business or entertainment) and their poker pro guests. Each pair of players will contribute $1,000,000 to the prize pool; $500,000 per participant. With a truly unique field, the clash of different playing styles in the Triton Millions will ensure excitement from start to finish.
The definitive headliner of WSOP Paradise will be the $25,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em championship, which will have a historic $50,000,000 guarantee and be billed as the Super Main Event. Road to Paradise online qualifiers and tournament promotions will begin in the near future at GGPoker.
“This is one you can’t miss,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “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?”
“We are thrilled to showcase the Triton Series in the Bahamas for the first time, marking a significant milestone in our journey. This event brings us closer to North America, expanding our reach and allowing more poker enthusiasts to experience our unrivaled high-stakes format. Our partnership with GGPoker and WSOP further strengthens our commitment to delivering premier poker experiences. Hosting at the iconic Atlantis resort is an honour, as we set new benchmarks for poker tournaments and elevate the excitement and prestige of our events” adds Andy Wong, CEO of Triton Series.
The full WSOP Paradise 2024 daily events schedule will be announced later this year, along with details on complimentary hotel accommodations available through special GGPoker tournament packages. The festival organizers reserve the right to cancel, change, or modify the tournament or any tournament event, in part or in whole, without notice.
