Following a record-setting 2023, the world’s
biggest poker series returns to the Las Vegas Strip for an encore
in 2024
The richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series –
the World Series of Poker® (WSOP®) – today announced its full daily
event schedule for the 2024 World Series of Poker, following the
success of the record-breaking tournament in 2023. The 55th edition
of the series heads back to the Las Vegas Strip at Horseshoe Las
Vegas and Paris Las Vegas.
The 2024 series will run from May 28 to July 17, 2024, offering
nearly 700 tables, many new events and, of course, the highly
coveted WSOP Main Event® Bracelet. The Main Event will begin on
July 3, with four starting flights running until July 6. Late
registration will be available on July 7-8 through Level 7 or
around 4:40 p.m. on Day 2 of each day.
The Main Event Final Table will occur July 16-17 at Horseshoe
Las Vegas. Last year’s Main Event drew a record 10,043 entrants and
crowned Daniel Weinman as its champion. Hailing from Atlanta, Ga.,
Weinman became the first American to win the WSOP Main Event since
2018 taking home $12.1 million, the largest Main Event first-prize
payout in series history.
Weinman and many former WSOP Main Event champions will kick off
the 2024 series with an all-new event, the Champions Reunion
No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout. Serving as Event #1 on this year’s
schedule, the contest features a $5,000 buy-in and an exciting
twist, allowing players who knock out a former Main Event champion
to receive an automatic entry into the 2024 WSOP Main Event as a
bounty. All living Main Event champions will be given a free entry
to play in the event.
“We’re proud to be Las Vegas’s original Main Event,” said Ty
Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP. “Records are
made to be broken, so our motto this year is bigger and better.
With our best schedule ever and more than 100 additional poker
tables, we look forward to welcoming legends, first-timers and
everyone in between. If you’re a poker player, there is simply no
experience on earth like the World Series of Poker.”
The opening week for the 55th edition of the WSOP contains more
action-packed events, with the Champions Freezeout and Event #3
WSOP Kickoff No-Limit Hold’em Freezeout.
Other new and noteworthy series highlights include:
Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold'em – Event #65: For the first
time, players ages 50 and up can participate in an exclusive new

the three-day event begins on Wednesday, June 26.
Mixed No-Limit Hold'em; Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot (8
Handed) – Event #41: Beginning on Saturday, June 15, this

$200, $250, or $400 deep stack tournaments at the WSOP will earn
points and climb leaderboards. The top 10 point earners each week

$1,000 buy-in Hold’em event at 7:00 p.m. that night. The two-day
event will contain a starting stack of 20,000.
$3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold’em – Event #89: For
players who bust out of the Main Event but want to remain a part of
the high-stakes action, this new four-day event begins on July 11
with a $3,000 buy-in and a starting stack of 40,000.
Poker fans from around the world can enjoy the sights and sounds
of the Las Vegas Strip while reveling in the history linked to
Horseshoe Las Vegas. Horseshoe owns a special place in the legacy
of the World Series of Poker, as the first-ever WSOP was held at
Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas in 1970. Last summer, the WSOP
unveiled the Hall of Fame Poker Room at Horseshoe Las Vegas,
featuring 20 poker tables with non-stop action 24/7 and a permanent
Poker Hall of Fame exhibit that pays tribute to the sport's legends
and history. The 2023 inductee to the Poker Hall of Fame was
long-time poker great Brian Rast. The 2024 inductee will be
announced this summer.
The WSOP Final Table, TV set and staging will again reside
inside Horseshoe Las Vegas, and the main cage will be located at
Paris Las Vegas. The two buildings are connected and share a
parking garage, which can be accessed from Paris Drive. In addition
to the new Versailles Tower featuring redesigned luxury guestrooms,
Paris Las Vegas has become a mecca for foodies with the recent
openings of several dining destinations led by restaurateurs and
world-famous chefs, such as Nobu, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay,
The Bedford by Martha Stewart and Vanderpump à Paris.
Weekend marquee events will have adjusted starting flights
during the 2024 WSOP. The events will now have either three
starting flights Friday through Sunday or four starting flights
Thursday through Sunday. This change results in popular events such
as Monster Stack, Millionaire Maker, and Colossus now having three
starting flights. Additionally, Mega Satellites will now be played
as “Landmark Mega Satellites,” where participants will accumulate a
certain amount of chips (e.g., 10x starting stack) to win a seat in
the respective event.
Daily Deep Stack tournaments will run every day from May 28 to
July 16, with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $400. In addition, Daily
Landmark Mega Satellites will happen from May 28 to July 15 with
buy-ins starting at $135 and topping off at $25,000.
Part of the record-breaking success of 2023 was due to
international and domestic online satellites on GGPoker and
WSOP.COM. GGPoker, the world’s leading online poker room, will
again offer exclusive satellites to the 2024 WSOP.
“Last year, 774 players made the GGPoker Road to Vegas, cashing
for over $5 Million in Main Event prizes,” said Daniel Negreanu,
GGPoker Global Ambassador and six-time WSOP bracelet winner. “This
summer, we aim to send 1,000 players to their WSOP Dream.”
Popular WSOP.COM Online Bracelet events return to action with
domestic daily satellite qualifiers with Main Event satellites
offered for as little as $1. In 2023, WSOP.COM qualified more than
450 players into the $10,000 Main Event with plans to exceed that
figure this year. Also, in 2024 during each night of the series,
WSOP.COM will host a guaranteed seat mega satellite for the next
day’s bracelet event. Details on the date and location for the WSOP
Circuit season-ending Tournament of Champions will be announced by
March 15.
Main Event Maynia, the WSOP’s official guaranteed seat-qualifier
series, returns in 2024, providing another way to qualify for the
2024 WSOP through land-based satellites at official partner casino
resorts and card rooms throughout the country and the world.
Participating locations include the Horseshoe St. Louis, Grand
Victoria Casino Elgin, Harrah’s Cherokee, Horseshoe Tunica,
Harrah’s Pompano Beach, Thunder Valley Casino Resort, Turning Stone
Resort Casino, Horseshoe Las Vegas, Foxwoods Resort Casino, and
Graton Casino and Resort.
PokerGO, the world’s largest poker content company and streaming
platform, returns as the official livestream and production partner
of the WSOP. Throughout the summer, PokerGO will livestream dozens
of WSOP gold bracelet events, including live coverage of the 2024
WSOP Main Event, across PokerGO.com and other platforms. The full
