The 2023 WSOP, which is from May 30 to July 18, 2023, will feature the largest slate of bracelet events in its history. With 608 tables, the series will also have the largest capacity to date and the expectation to shatter records becoming the biggest and best WSOP of all time.
The 2022 WSOP set records for the most prize money ever awarded at nearly $350 million, and the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship, best known as the Main Event, hosted the second-largest field in the history of live poker with 8,663 entrants – just 110 entries short of the record. Anticipation is high for this year's series, with international online poker giant GGPoker guaranteeing to qualify a minimum of 600 players and WSOP.COM guaranteeing 111 Main Event seats from June 25 to July 8.
To avoid queues and congestion, the WSOP encourages players to utilize the online mobile registration process to sign up for events, register, and pay online. Players who register online will need to visit the Champagne Ballroom located in the Le Centre Des Conventions in Paris Las Vegas one time before playing in their first event to verify their registration with valid identification upon arrival to the series.
Once verified, players can simply pick events online via BravoPokerLive and utilize the self-service kiosks located throughout Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas to print their seat cards and make their way directly to their table for play. In-person registration is also now available at the main casino cage inside Paris Las Vegas.
