This Year’s WSOP Heavy On Hardware
By Dave Lukow
Entering its 54th year, the WSOP runs from May 30 to July 18 at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. It will feature 608 tables and, for the first time in history, a $300 price point tournament.
The 2023 WSOP will have more bracelet events than ever before.
Last year, the WSOP attracted 197,626 players from more than 100 nations. The overall prize pool – $347.9 million – was the largest amount awarded since the series began.
The Main Event, the $10,000 No-Limit-Hold’em World Championship, goes from July 3-17. In 2022, the Main Event had 8,663 participants, which ranks second, in terms of entries, in the history of live poker.
CBS Sports is again the broadcast partner of the WSOP. Daily streaming will also be found on PokerGo.
