Who Will Ship The WPT Prime Championship 2023?

The World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime Championship started on 7th December 2023 and is one of the most tracked tournaments in the poker fraternity. Taking place at Wynn Las Vegas, it boasts a $5 Million guaranteed prize pool while having a buy-in of $1,100.

As expected, players worldwide flocked to participate in the event, with the player field reaching 10,512 entrants after the registration was closed on the Day 1D session. It is now the largest field in live poker outside the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

The WPT Prime Championship 2023 prize pool has hit the $10,196,640 mark, nearly double last year’s inaugural WPT Prime Championship at Wynn, which sat at $5,267,100. The same can be said for the number of entrants, which rose from 5,430 in the 2022 edition to over 10,500 in the WPT Prime Championship 2023, making it a rousing success.

What’s more impressive about the turnout this year is the number of other competing tournaments taking place globally last December. Despite the competition from WSOP Paradise 2023 and European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague to compete for players, the Encore Ballroom was full during the starting flights.
