The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is “going all-in to break the Main Event record”, and among the efforts to make history is the 112 Seat Sprint, where a whopping 112 Main Event seats will be guaranteed on WSOP Online from June 25 to July 8.

The two-week long Main Event satellite festivities on the WSOP online platform will be highlighted with a $250,000 guarantee, 25 Seat Scramble which will take place on Sunday, July 2.

“All-In” satellites will run daily from June 25-July 8 with no fees and buy-ins from $80 to $126. A last-chance drawing for the final seat in the Main Event will take place on July 8.

As America’s largest legal online poker room, WSOP.com will also feature 20 online bracelet events with buy-ins ranging from $333 to $5,300 this summer in the merged network of New Jersey and Nevada, in addition to the many opportunities to satellite into the $10,000 Main Event at Horseshoe Las Vegas.

Turn Small Buy-In Into Millions

Players unable to pay the $10,000 entry fee needed to take part in the preeminent poker event will have plenty of opportunities to qualify into the tournament for a much lower investment which could turn into a life-changing sum of money.

In the lead-up to the most prestigious event in poker, the 2023 edition of the WSOP has already given many amateurs a chance at the dream with satellites throughout Main Event Maynia. 20 years ago, Chris Moneymaker famously won his entry into the 2003 Main Event through an online qualifier and ultimately revolutionized the game.

Most recently, reigning Main Event champion Espen Jorstad qualified for the marquee tournament through an online satellite and ended up with his name in the history books. With so many chances to qualify for the Main Event on WSOP.com, anyone could turn a small buy-in into millions.

The 2022 WSOP was the first year on the Vegas Strip for the most recognizable brand in poker, and access to the festivities was easier than ever for the tens of thousands of people who walk along the Strip. Last year, the festival saw 197,626 entrants from more than 100 countries and a record-breaking $347.9 million total prize pool in its new home.

The 2023 WSOP is the first-ever at Horseshoe Las Vegas since its rebrand from Bally’s Las Vegas. The 2023 WSOP Main Event begins July 3 and will feature four starting flights. The final day of play is slated for July 17 when a new world champion will be crowned.

Record-Breaking Year?

The 2006 WSOP Main Event continues to hold the record for the largest field in the history of the tournament with 8,773 entries. That Main Event was won by Jamie Gold for $12,000,000, and although it’s been 17 years since the benchmark was set, many are predicting it will soon be broken as the WSOP goes “all-in” to break the Main Event record.

“With the momentum generated from the WSOP’s debut on the Las Vegas Strip last year, we expect a record-breaking WSOP and World Championship at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas in 2023," said Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP. "If the Main Event is on your bucket list, this is the year to get to Vegas.”

Earlier this summer on The Chad & Jesse Poker Show, Stewart boldly predicted this year's WSOP Main Event would get 9,999 players!

The 112 Seat Sprint is another effort from WSOP to ensure the Main Event record is broken this year. Last year’s edition of the Main Event drew 8,663 entrants and fell only 110 entrants short of the record, now holding the second-top spot on the list.

To further sweeten the deal of playing in the prestigious event, if the Main Event record is indeed broken this year, all entrants in the field will be placed into a drawing held on July 8 which will award one lucky player a Main Event buy-in for the next 30 years as part of WSOP’s “Main Event for Life“ promotion.

Take a shot in a satellite and you may find yourself in a dream scenario entering the first-ever WSOP Main Event at Horseshoe Las Vegas. You may find yourself playing the tournament every poker player wants to play, and with some good fortune, you may even find yourself in the poker history books.
