$1million Bounty Kicks Off GGPoker WSOP 2025 Schedule

This year’s full WSOP schedule has been announced and the action kicks off with a $1million top bounty in the Mystery Millions with 100 bracelets in total up for grabs.

The 56th edition of the world’s richest and most prestigious poker series returns for a fourth year to the Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas on the iconic Las Vegas Strip. The festival runs from May 27^th through July 16^th.

“We had hoped to continue to break records last year, and we did – the WSOP Main Event was bigger than ever,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP.

“In 2025, the WSOP schedule is better again, with something for everyone who loves the game.”

“There’s nothing like summer in Las Vegas and we’re ready to welcome players to the biggest and best WSOP of all time!” added Stewart in this week’s press release. 

The Main Event

For many, the highlight of the summer festival is the WSOP Main Event. This year’s “World Championship” starts on July 2^nd and reaches a final table on Sunday July 13^th.

A day off to recover and prepare will see the final nine return for a stab at glory on Tuesday July 15^th with the winner crowned on Wednesday July 16^th.

Last year’s victor, Jonathan Tamayo, won $10,000,000 and the biggest crown (well, gold bracelet!) in poker and will be looking to become the first player to go back-to-back since Johnny Chan’s epic 1987/1988 double.

Of course, there is much more to the WSOP than just one event, no matter how large or prestigious. A few highlights from the rest of the 100-bracelet schedule can be seen below:
