Win an extra $100,000 at the WSOP Paradise

If you cashed several times, made a final table, or won a bracelet at the WSOP this year, then you might want to to to the Bahamas next month.

As the battle for live poker supremacy in December heats up, GGPoker and the WSOP have given a lot of grinders extra reason to choose WSOP Paradise over the WPT World Championship. 

Players who cashed a lot, made a final table, or won a bracelet in Vegas this summer can potentially win an extra $100,000 next month.

Any player who cashes 10 times between the Vegas WSOP and WSOP Paradise, with at least one cash in each destination, will win an extra $5,000. Players who make three final tables between the two, with at least one in each festival, will win an extra $25,000. 

Finally, a player who wins a bracelet in Vegas and goes on to win another in the Bahamas will bag an extra $100,000. 

This genuinely should increase numbers for WSOP Paradise. There were 95 bracelets awarded in Las Vegas this year and 158 players on at least nine cashes. For all those players it would be a no-brainer to play in the Bahamas next month.

This year GGPoker are sending over 1,000 qualifiers to their WSOP Paradise event. The Main Event boasts a $15 million guarantee - but the real value might be in the satellites. 

There are seats being won around the clock in $1,200 qualifiers.

$1,200 might be too rich for a lot of players, but the feeder satellites are also overlaying in some instances. There are regular $125 qualifiers to win a ticket to the $1,200 final, with feeders as low as $15. This is the current satellite structure, which no doubt will change:

GGPoker WSOP Paradise Satellite Tree
$10,000 WSOP Paradise Package
$1,200 Direct Qualifier
$125 Mega Satellite
$15 Mega Satellite

An important point of consideration, however, is that an overlaying satellite has to go beyond late registration to guarantee the package. If the tournament ends before late registration the winner just takes down the collected prize pool instead.

You can play in satellites after winning a package, however winning a second satellite will only earn you T$5,000, not the full $10,000 package. You can see the full schedule for the GGPoker WSOP Paradise below:
