📣 The 2022 'Poker Event of the Year' is BACK 2023 World Championship : Nov 29 – Dec 23 “Due to last year’s incredible turnout and the strong rapport we built with WPT, we have extended the festival dates and will create a tournament schedule to make 2023 even more memorable.”

“After paying out more than $53 million in total prize money last December, we are excited for the return of the WPT World Championship at Wynn,” Wynn executive director of poker operations Ryan Beauregard said. Wynn tournament organizers are pleased to see the tournament series returning in December. England’s Benny Glaser finished runner-up for $2.8 million. The championship produced a field of 2,960 entries, nearly doubling the guarantee for a prize pool of more than $29 million.Ĭanada’s Eliot Hudon came out on top to win $4.1 million. The event featured live and online qualifiers around the world as well as a packed schedule of side events. In the buildup to the series, the WPT announced a massive $15 million guarantee for the championship.

Many noted that the event seemed to fill a void on the tournament calendar and offered a World Series of Poker type of series during the winter. December’s championship brought nice reviews among players.
