The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise is a winter series held at the Atlantis Paradise Island in The Bahamas. The series runs from December 3-14 and will feature 15 bracelet events across different variants with over $51 million in guarantees. PokerNews will be on hand to provide live coverage of the event, with photos, videos, and player interviews live from the tournament floor in The Bahamas.
In the meantime, GGPoker has been busy qualifying players from all over the world via their Road To of-his-poker-friends-will-be-there/'>Paradise, which launched at the beginning of October. Each WSOP Paradise package comes with entry into the prestigious $5,000 WSOP Paradise Main Event, scheduled to unfold amid the tropical splendor of Atlantis Paradise Island from December 9, offering an impressive $15 million in guaranteed prizes. But that’s not all; winners will also savor a 10-night stay at the luxurious Atlantis Paradise Island resort, celebrated for its lavish amenities and awe-inspiring ocean vistas.
While there, qualifiers will get to rub elbows with GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu, who has already declared that he will be making the trip to the Bahamas. As such, PokerNews caught up with the Poker Hall of Famer to learn more about his plans for the WSOP Paradise.

Q&A w/ Daniel Negreanu
PokerNews: When do you plan to be at the WSOP Paradise? The whole time?
Daniel Negreanu: Absolutely! I plan to play all the events, and its a great schedule because there is some time off in between events to enjoy the vacation.
When was the last time you were in the Bahamas?
I dont even remember, but it feels like its been a really long time and so Im looking forward to going back.
Will you be offering daily vlogs like during the summer?
“The $100K should be a great tournament, and I enjoy playing against top competition, but Id have to say the big PLO event, thats fun.”
Yup! My trusted vlog guy, Christian, is also making the trip along with his family, and we plan to do the daily vlogs as per usual.
What events are you most looking forward to playing?
The $100K should be a great tournament, and I enjoy playing against top competition, but Id have to say the big PLO event, thats fun.
Will your wife, Amanda, be joining? If so, what is she most looking forward to?
Amanda is happiest on the beach and on the water so I imagine she is most looking forward to the serenity it offers, and yes, she will be coming for the whole trip too.
You’re a noted vegan. Do you have a plan for food while there or has it become easierin this day and age than in the past?
I havent been there in a while, but I do remember having to get a little creative as a vegan for sure. One thing I do to prepare is make sure there is a great market, that looks like a Whole Foods, and I stock up on stuff and get a room with a little kitchenette so I can pack some things for the day’s play. I think this year will be the easiest ever since it appears there will be food options available in the tournament room.
Do you know if any of your poker friends will be attending?
Thats probably what Im looking forward to most honestly, a lot of my friends have already booked rooms there, and it means Amanda will have people to hang out with while Im playing:
Josh AriehEric Wasserson Christian & FamilyEddy Sabat Edog (Erick Lindgren) & Erica
A really fun crew! Would be great if we could get Jeff Platt and Brent Hanks to come out but I dont think Brett Hanks has ever left the US and doesnt have a passport.
Do you think you’ll do anything off the felt (i.e. beach, waterpark, etc.)?
All of the above. I expect this to be the most fun trip Ive ever taken to Bahamas and a great time for a vacation for me, Amanda, and family. With the schedule having some spots where I can take a day off, it works perfectly - I can let loose, have a mojito or twelve, and get into whatever trouble I can find!
