The richest and longest-running poker gaming event in the world will make a comeback in 2023 after this year’s tournament recorded more than 197,600 entrants from over 100 countries worldwide. The 2022 event hit a total prize pool of close to $348 million that broke records and considerably raised the bar. The decision to use the same two new locations was, therefore, a direct result of the success of the event’s debut on the Strip, according to World Series of Poker’s senior vice president and executive director Ty Stewart. Stewart expressed Caesars’ joy and excitement to be coming back to Paris Las Vegas and Bally’s which will soon be renamed as Horseshoe Las Vegas for “another exciting chapter in the tournament’s history.”
