The return of WSOP Paradise this December has already grabbed the attention of players around the world, in particular due to the unprecedented $50,000,000 guaranteed prize pool attached to the 'Super Main Event' - the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
Running from December 6-19 at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the series will also feature a new tournament with an eye-watering buy-in and an unexpected name: the Triton Millions will kick off on December 7, with a $500,000 buy-in.
And this partnership between GGPoker, the world's largest online poker room, and the prestigious Triton Series, known for it's high roller events, is not the only unexpected twist.
Invite only... plus one
The upcoming Triton Millions will not be an open event, but instead will be split between invited players and professionals. Invited players are expected to include amateur poker enthusiasts with backgrounds in business and/or entertainment, while for pros to take part they will need to be the guest of an invited player. So in case you're wondering where Daniel Negreanu gets that figure of $1M in the video below, each pair of players will be contributing $1 million to the prize pool between them.
