The WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas festival is now less than a month away, with the first events kicking off at the luxury resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Wynn Las Vegas has already awarded more than $400,000,000 in tournament poker prize money over the years, and that number is set to grow in a major way before 2023 comes to a close. The upcoming series will run from Nov. 29 through Dec. 23 this year, with the centerpiece of the whole affair being the massive $40,000,000 guaranteed $10,400 buy-in championship event, which runs from Dec. 12-21. That event raised the guarantee from $15 million last year to the new record-setting $40 million mark, with an additional starting flight available when compared to the structure of last year’s tournament that attracted a gigantic field of 2,960 entries. This year the main event will feature four starting flights as the event shoots to meet the largest guarantee in poker history. According to the structure sheet, $9,800 from each buy-in will be going into the prize pool, meaning a total of 4,082 entries are required to surpass the guarantee. Other highlights include the $5 million guaranteed WPT Prime Championship $1,100 buy-in event (Dec. 7-12), the $250,000 guaranteed WPT Ladies World Championship (Dec. 6-8), and the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop (Dec. 18-20).
