WSOP confirms full Paradise stream as first Triton Million players announced

Posted on: November 29, 2024 03:57 PST

The WSOP has confirmed the full streaming schedule for the 2024 WSOP Paradise festival that's set to kick off in The Bahamas on Friday, December 6, with 15 bracelets up for grabs.

It's a joint venture with Triton Poker, and the guest dominates the streaming schedule for the first six days, with full coverage of the $500K buy-in Triton Million and the $100K Triton Main Event.

The Triton Million is set to be one of the spectacles of the year, with its unique format that sees businessmen invite pro players to the tables. Buy-ins must be in pairs with each pair contributing $1 million to the prize pool.

First $1 million pairings announced

Triton Poker announced the first of the confirmed pairings on Thursday, with Patrik Antonius, Taylor Von Kriegenbergh, Nick Petrangelo, Sean Winter, Punnat Punsri, Phil Ivey, Andrew Robl, Adrian Mateos, Justin Bonomo and Ben Heath all invited to the party. Finnish wildcard Ossi Ketola will be there, along with David Einhorn, Santhosh Suvarna and Rob Yong.

Interestingly, it seems that one of the world's biggest names has yet to secure his seat. Daniel Negreanu put a post out on Thursday asking for a wealthy businessman to get him in, and poker fans around the world will be hoping that happens.

SPECIAL OFFERS

Super Main Event takes centre stage

Then, all eyes are on the Super Main Event, with the biggest guarantee in poker history. The WSOP needs 2,000 entries to hit the $50 million guarantee, and after a number of online Day 1s on GGPoker, it hopes to find the remainder across five live Day 1 flights.

Some big names are already through to Day 3, with Roman Hrabec, Adrian Mateos and Ole Schemion all taking big stacks to The Bahamas. Brazilian Marcelo Aziz is leading the way with a stack of 11,292,560 (141.2BBs).

Adrian Mateos has the chip lead for Day 3 of the $250K Super High Roller.

Adrian Mateos will be looking for a deep run that could win him the 2024 GPI Player of the Year.

You'll be able to watch action from all but one of the opening flights, with Day 1A clashing with the final table of the Triton Main Event on December 12. December 13-20 will focus exclusively on the Super Main Event, which is set to be the second biggest tournament of the year after the Main Event in Vegas last summer.
