WSOP 2023 Highlights
The 54th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) will take place in Las Vegas from May 30 to July 18, 2023, at Paris Las Vegas and the Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally’s).
The festival will feature the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, aka The Main Event. In addition to this signature event, the 2023 WSOP schedule will also include new events such as Badugi and the return of perennial classics such as The Millionaire Maker.
Keep your eyes peeled for two new events in the WSOP 2023 live schedule — Gladiators of Poker and Ultrastack are making their debut. The ever-popular Mystery Bounty or Mystery Millions event is also returning to the schedule this year.
Three New Events: Gladiators of Poker, Badugi and Ultrastack
Gladiators is one of two new events that have been announced for the tournament. The buy-in for the tournament is just $300, making it the cheapest live bracelet event ever. The tournament is set to run from June 7 and will have a total guaranteed prize pool of $3 million, so organizers are expecting far north of 10,000 people to join. It could set an attendance record.
Ultra Stack is the second of the two new events that have been announced for the WSOP 2023. The buy-in for the tournament is $600, which is higher than the buy-in for Gladiators of Poker. It is not clear at this time what the format of the tournament will be or how long it will run, but given its name, it is likely to be a super-deep stacked event.
The upcoming WSOP 2023 will also feature a first-ever Badugi event, where players can win a bracelet playing only Badugi from start to finish. The tournament is Event #20, taking place on Jun 7, and players can buy in for just $1500.
Badugi is a lowball poker variation with the goal of having the best low hand at the showdown. The best possible hand is A-2-3-4, but all four cards must be different (unpaired) and of different suits. When two or more players hold Badugis, the one with the lowest card at the top wins.
There are basic strategies for Badugi, such as having a strong starting hand selection and understanding the role of position and the number of players in the pot. Resources for Badugi strategy are scarce, so the best way to prepare for the WSOP 2023 event is to look at our in-depth Badugi article.
Mystery Bounty Makes its Return
The Mystery Bounty event, also known as Mystery Millions, is a tournament that will be held at the WSOP 2023. It has a buy-in of $1000 and features bounties ranging from $10,000 to $1 million. The tournament’s winner is guaranteed to take home $1 million on top of any bounties they collect during the event. The tournament is set to begin on May 31 and is expected to be a popular event, as it often attracts one of the largest crowds during the opening weekend of the WSOP.
The Horseshoe Brand Returns to Vegas
After a year of renovations, it is official. Bally’s is no more, and as of March 24, 2023, the casino is now the Horseshoe Las Vegas — owned by Caesars Entertainment.
Americans will be familiar with the Horseshoe Casino brand, having first opened its doors in the early 1950s. The parent company, Caesars Entertainment, now operates 10 Horseshoe properties throughout North America.
“The arrival of Horseshoe on The Strip marks a significant moment for Caesars Entertainment, the Horseshoe name, and the entire destination,” Jason Gregorec, SVP and General Manager of the Horseshoe property in Las Vegas, said via press release. “Not only are we excited for guests to experience the redesigned resort and its latest offerings, but we are also proud to reintroduce the historic gaming brand to Las Vegas.”
Famous faces were front and center during the March 24 ribbon cutting, such as Jack Binion, famed sports bettor Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, and Poker Hall of Fame legend Doyle Brunson.
Not only is the Horseshoe home to the annual World Series of Poker, which takes place each summer, but the Horseshoe is now also home to a one-of-a-kind World Series of Poker Hall of Fame Poker Room.
The poker room will aim to bring tournament-style poker to the Las Vegas Strip year-round. It features 18 poker tables and can be found near the Casino’s front entrance.
Players should also look out for a Hall of Fame exhibit, which will be added to the space in the coming months.

Register Online for WSOP 2023 from April 13 Onwards
Players who want to beat the queues this year can register for the WSOP online from April 13.
As well as being able to register and pay online ahead of arriving in Las Vegas, the WSOP is working with BravoPokerLive.com to make getting there as seamless as possible.
For the first time, players who book through Bravo Poker Live will get access to flight and accommodation rates at great costs. The new travel bundle booking process is made possible through Caesars Rewards.
“This year’s WSOP is poised to break records with an unprecedented range of options to qualify for and attend the WSOP Main Event, widely recognized as the World Championship of poker,” said World Series of Poker Senior Vice President and Executive Director Ty Stewart via press release. “We’re excited to offer players an effortless and cost-effective way to book their entire trip to Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas as they set their sights on becoming poker royalty this summer.”
It is worth noting that players who register online will still need to visit the Champagne Ballroom located in Le Centre Des Conventions in Paris Las Vegas before playing in their first event. The WSOP will need to verify registration with valid identification upon arrival at the WSOP.
Once verified, players can pick events online and use the self-service kiosks throughout Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas to print their seat cards before heading to the tables.
In-person registration is also now available at the main casino cage in Paris Las Vegas.
Full WSOP 2023 Schedule
The full WSOP 2023 schedule has been finally announced, and there are 95 live bracelet events and 34 online bracelets to be won.
For the second year running, the entire live portion of the WSOP will take place between two venues in Las Vegas — the Horseshoe Casino (formally Bally’s) and Paris Casino.
Prior to its move to the strip last year, the World Series of Poker was hosted in the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for the past seventeen years — and before that, in the Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Vegas. But the move has paid off, as last year the WSOP broke records — becoming the biggest series in its entire 50+ year history.
In the 2022 edition of the WSOP, $346 million in total prize money was paid out across 88 bracelet events, and nearly 200k entrants played in the live series — numbers the WSOP are hoping to break for this year’s edition.
The full 95-strong-bracelet schedule can be found below.

WSOP US Online Bracelet Series in 2023
The WSOP Online Bracelet Series is back! The series is running from early June into mid-July on WSOP.com in all four US states where WSOP operates:
- Nevada and New Jersey — on WSOP NJ & WSOP NV in one combined cross-state series
- Michigan — on WSOP MI
- Pennsylvania — on WSOP PA
In Michigan and Pennsylvania, there will be separate seven-bracelet schedules. Over on the shared network of WSOP New Jersey and WSOP Nevada, there are 20 events running this year, up from just 13 from a year ago.
Below, we take a closer look at the schedule in each state, along with events to watch.
WSOP Makes Last-Minute Changes to Online Bracelet Schedule for Pennsylvania and Michigan
In a surprising turn of events, the WSOP have tweaked its online bracelet schedule for poker players in Pennsylvania and Michigan. These changes come as a last-minute shake-up to the original schedule — removing the PKO events and adding in a Mystery Bounty tournament instead.
The $400 buy-in Progressive Knockout (PKO) bracelet event, initially scheduled for Sunday, June 25, has been replaced with a new buy-in of $500 to accommodate the Mystery Bounty format.
The Mystery Bounty format is only available on the WSOP MI and WSOP PA platforms.
When the original schedule for the WSOP was announced in February, the online bracelet schedule did not include the Mystery Bounty format in any of the states. This omission was likely due to WSOP’s ongoing testing of the format in Michigan at the time.
Since then, the Mystery Bounty format has also made its debut in the Pennsylvania market. It gained further popularity when it was featured in the WSOP Online Circuit series in February in both states. Due to its success, the Mystery Bounty format has become a regular fixture in the monthly Online Circuit Series and is now part of the daily tournament schedule.
For those unfamiliar with the format, the Mystery Bounty works similarly to a traditional knockout format, where a portion of the buy-in (usually 50%) is allocated to the bounty pool. The tournament consists of two phases: the first phase and the second phase. During the first phase, no bounties are awarded for eliminating players.
The bounties come into play during the second Phase. Unlike a Progressive Knockout, where bounties are active from the beginning and increase as the tournament progresses, the bounties in the Mystery Bounty format are randomized. This means players can win a substantial bounty at any point in the tournament, and the amount remains unknown until a player is eliminated, hence the “mystery” element.
The player who eliminates their opponent receives the mystery prize, which could range from half of the buy-in to even 100 times the buy-in.
In the upcoming online bracelet event, the top bounty prize has been set at $20,000. Bounties will be activated from level 18 onwards, and each player will start with 30,000 chips. Participants are allowed up to three re-entries.
The inaugural Mystery Bounty online bracelet event in Michigan and Pennsylvania has a buy-in of $500 ($450+$50) and guarantees a prize pool of $100,000. It is scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 25, at 18:30 PST. The event replaces the NL Hold’em Progressive Knockout, which previously had a buy-in of $400.
WSOP NJ & NV Online Bracelet Series 2023: June 1 to July 16
The 2023 WSOP Online Bracelet Series on the combined WSOP New Jersey/Nevada network runs from June 1 to July 16 and will feature 20 events.

June 4, June 18, and July 16 are double bracelet days, meaning two lucky players will take home a WSOP bracelet on those days.
WSOP Online Bracelet events usually run at either 3:30 PM PST or 4:30 PM PST.

WSOP is running freerolls in each of the four states where the site operates. The exclusive freeroll is available on WSOP NJ/NV (sharing the same player pool), WSOP MI, and WSOP PA. The freeroll is open to all players who deposit between February 1 and 26 using the promo code MAIN2023.
The freeroll takes place on February 28, and the winner of each freeroll receives $10,000 in buy-in chips which can be used to play any gold bracelet event at the WSOP 2023, including the prestigious Main Event.
Will WSOP 2023 have any Mystery Bounty poker tournaments?
Yes. WSOP, the original inventor of the Mystery Bounty concept, brought back this popular format in 2023. Last year, there was only one Mystery Bounty tournament on the schedule, and it generated a massive $12.5 million prize pool.
` — Event #3: $1,000 Mystery Millions – No-Limit Hold’em – Flight Tournament and Event #35: $10,000 Secret Bounty No-Limit Hold’em.
What are the new events at WSOP 2023?
There are nearly a dozen new events at WSOP 2023. These include Gladiators of Poker, Ultra Stack, Badugi, Secret Bounty, Big O, High Roller H.O.R.S.E, $1500 buy-in Short Deck, Mixed Omaha and Stud event.
What is the Ultra Stack?
The Ultra Stack tournament is a new event that will be held at the WSOP 2023. It has a buy-in of $600, and it is not yet known what the tournament format will be or how long it will run. However, given its name, it is likely to be a super deep-stacked tournament, so if you are comfortable with very deep NL Hold’em play, this tournament could provide great value.
What is the WSOP 2023 Gladiators of Poker tournament?
Gladiators of Poker is a tournament that will be held at the 54th World Series of Poker. It has a buy-in of $300, making it the cheapest live bracelet event ever. The tournament is set to run from June 7 and will have a total guaranteed prize pool of $3 million.

On June 14, another Mystery Bounty event is scheduled, named Secret Bounty.

Where to Watch & Who To Follow During the WSOP 2023
If you are not one of the lucky ones to make it to Sin City this year to take part in the World Series of Poker, there are plenty of content creators you can follow along with.
GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu
The closest thing to being front and center is following along with the adventures of Daniel Negreanu. As well as being a GGPoker ambassador, Negreanu often makes deep runs at the WSOP, churns out the content with daily vlogs, which he uploads to YouTube and Twitter, and in previous years has made attempts to claim the WSOP Player of the Year award.
You can check out his vlogs from last year to hint at what is coming this June! They are packed full of insight, and for those who can’t make it to the series, it gives you a fly-on-the-wall look at the WSOP from someone who is playing multiple events.
Kevmath, AKA The WSOP Twitter Tsar
For the seventh year running, industry veteran and self-proclaimed WSOP Twitter Tsar will be back as the voice of the WSOP Twitter account — dishing out chip updates, event updates, and everything you need to know about the WSOP 2023.
Kevmath does the impossible by manning the WSOP Twitter account over the course of the entire series — and is invariably the canonical source for all things WSOP.
