Day 1a of the World Series of Poker Paradise Super Main Event Makes its Debut at 12:00 p.m.

The poker world is buzzing with anticipation as the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise gets ready to make its electrifying debut of the $25,000 Super Main Event here at the Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas.

The highly awaited event aims to shatter records with a colossal $50,000,000 guarantee, the largest ever worldwide. The field is set to feature not only the most respected and well-known professionals from around the world but also a diverse group of players who have seized an incredible opportunity by qualifying for this major event with its substantial price tag.

Last year, the first-ever WSOP Paradise Main Event champion was crowned as Germany's Stanislav Zegal took down the $5,000 buy-in event for $2 million and his first WSOP bracelet. The GGPoker qualifier defeated heads-up opponent Michael Sklenicka of Czechia to wrap up a final day.

The inaugural event drew 3,010 players for a prize pool that climbed above the $15,000,000 guarantee.
