Organizers have announced 15 bracelet events during WSOP Paradise this year, along with a massive lineup of side events. The main attraction will be the Super Main Event with a $25,000 buy-in and a record-breaking guarantee of $60,000,000, making it the largest guarantee ever seen in live poker.
The schedule also includes intriguing events with lower buy-ins, such as the Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty NLH with a $2,500 buy-in and a $5,000,000 guarantee, or the Super PLOSSUS PLO for $10,000. The renowned quality of the series is further elevated by its partnership with the luxury brand Triton, bringing astronomical buy-ins and the biggest names in poker today.
High Stakes Perfect for WSOP Paradise
The collaboration between WSOP and Triton Poker began in previous years, but the 2025 edition takes it to a whole new level. WSOP Paradise includes several Triton tournaments – from a $75,000 PLO 6-Max and a $100,000 Triton PLO Main Event, to a $100,000 Triton NLH Main Event and a $150,000 Triton NLH 8-Handed.
The highlight of the Triton part of the festival will be the unique Event #5: Triton Invitational NLH with a $250,000 buy-in. This ‘invitational’ format bridges the world of elite professionals and wealthy business players willing to pay a quarter of a million dollars just to sit at the table with the best in the world. According to the published schedule, the Triton Invitational is set to kick off on December 7, during the peak of the festival's ‘madness.’ In the Grand Ballroom of Atlantis, everything from the Super COLOSSUS for $5,000 to the Triton Invitational for $250,000 will be played.
