2023 World Series of Poker full schedule unveiled

Three months away until the prestigious World Series of Poker comes to life and already, poker players across the globe are teeming with excitement. This year’s festivities are about to bring in a whole new level of action with the premier event gearing to surpass 2022’s overwhelming success. From last year’s record-breaking $327.9 million prize pool to its Main Event paving to be the second-largest field in WSOP history, this summer games are about to follow through with the largest slate of 95 bracelet events (live) to date.

“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.”

Scheduled from May 30 to July 18, the 54th annual World Series of Poker returns to The Strip at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas, featuring the biggest capacity in series history with 608 tables spread across more than 200,000 square feet, including non stop cash game action. The crown jewel of the WSOP remains to be its $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship “The Main Event®,” from July 3-17. Last season’s winner Norwegian Espen Jorstad bagged an outstanding $10 million after outlasting the 8,663-entry field.
