The WSOP Paradise is officially back — and this time, it’s bringing the biggest guarantee in live poker history. Running from December 4–18, 2025, the third edition of the World Series of Poker’s winter getaway returns to the iconic Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas with a staggering $60,000,000 guaranteed Super Main Event.
That’s not a typo — sixty million. It’s a $25K buy-in that’s already setting records before cards even hit the felt.
A New Era of Winter Poker
Last year, the inaugural Super Main Event stunned the industry with a $50M guarantee, ultimately drawing 1,977 entries. China’s Yinan Zhou emerged victorious for $6M and a life-changing WSOP gold bracelet. Now, with the bar raised by another $10M, 2025 is shaping up to be even crazier.
As Ty Stewart, CEO of WSOP, put it: “They called us crazy last year… so consider this a re-raise.”
And yeah — he’s not wrong.
Triton Returns, High Stakes Get Wilder
WSOP Paradise 2025 isn’t just about one tournament. The full lineup is stacked with high roller and super high roller action, thanks to the return of Triton Poker as co-host.
Some of the standouts:
- Event 3: Triton PLO Main Event – $100K buy-in
- Event 5: Triton Invitational – $250K buy-in (Half the field are celebs and VIPs, the other half are poker killers)
- Event 9: Triton NLH Main Event – $100K buy-in
- Event 14: GGMillion$ – $25K buy-in with $10M guaranteed
If you’re a nosebleed regular or a fan of watching top-tier sharks battle for six- and seven-figure scores, this is your paradise.
Mystery Bounty, Satellites and Second Shots
Things kick off with the WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty on December 4 — a $2,500 event with big knockout energy. Anyone who wins a WSOP Circuit Ring between July 1 and December 2 will get a $5K package to Paradise, with free entry to Event 1.
That includes the upcoming WSOP Circuit Tallinn, which will run from July 25 to August 3 at the Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel. With 12 rings on the schedule, players have 12 golden opportunities to grab a Ticket to Paradise.

Not making it in on your own bankroll? GGPoker satellites are already live with Road to Paradise qualifiers. Winners land a $30K package that covers your $25K SME seat, hotel at Atlantis, free meals, and more.
And for a fun twist: the bubble boy from the 2025 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas was gifted a full WSOP Paradise package — turning bad luck into beachfront redemption.
Negreanu Says It Best
GGPoker Global Ambassador Daniel Negreanu summed it up perfectly: “Last year’s $50M guarantee was crazy. Adding another $10M? That’s freaking insane.”
The full WSOP Paradise schedule is dropping later this year, and you can bet it’ll be loaded with more events, big names, and historic payouts. Until then, get your sunscreen, prep your game, and punch that ticket to poker’s ultimate winter playground.
