WSOP Paradise 2025 Daily Event Schedule

The 2025 WSOP Schedule hasn’t been released in full just yet. However, we already know dates and most important information about some of the key events taking place in the Bahamas this winter.

Date Event Buy-In GTD
Dec 4 #1 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty $2,500 $5,000,000
Dec 5 #3 Triton PLO Main Event $100,000 N/A

Dec 14 #14 GGMillion$ $25,000 $10,000,000

Schedule Highlights: Super Main Event Sets a New Record

The 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event will once again set the record for the highest live tournament guarantee. After the organizers guaranteed $50,000,000 last year, they are taking this up to the next level for 2025, with the $25,000 Main Event offering at least $60,000,000 in prizes.

Event #1 Free for Ring Winners

Event #1 – $2,500 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty is a new addition to the WSOP Paradise schedule. This tournament is open to all players, but all WSOP ring winners from July 1 through December 2 will receive a complimentary $5,000 package to come to the Bahamas and compete in this $5,000,000 GTD event.

Event #5 – Triton Invitational

Event #5 – $250k Triton Invitational will be one of the most interesting events on the 2025 WSOP Paradise schedule, at least from the fans’ perspective.

This event features a unique format, where the field is split between players from the world of business (i.e., the businessmen), and poker professionals. For poker pros to get in, however, they have to get invited by one of the businessmen and become their guest at the tournament.

The setup is bound to create interesting dynamics at the table and make this event different from most super high roller tournaments where a majority of the field is made up of hardcore professionals.

GGMillion$ With a Big Guarantee

Event #14 – $25,000 GGMillion$ features a massive guarantee of $10,000,000, which makes it stand out from the rest of the tournaments on the schedule. This large guarantee alone should help generate a lot of interest and bring in players in droves, either directly or thanks to numerous satellites available online.
