Poker Community Loves It

Support for the WSOPs new promotion was overwhelmingly positive.

Had 9 live bracelet event cashes and 2 FT in those events this summer at WSOP, 2004 WSOP runner-up David Williams wrote on X. So one cash in Bahamas = 5k and one FT = 25k instead of the 5k? This correct! Wow if so. See ya there!

Christian Harder added: 9 cashes and 2 FTs here damn now Im looking at flights, good work GG and WSOP.

2013 WSOP Main Event Champ Ryan Riess wrote: Wow this is an incredible promotion for people who played a lot over the summer. Thanks @WSOP and @GGPoker for the added value. Much appreciated!

PokerNews Strategy contributor and noted poker author/coach Jonatan Little said: I am drawing pretty dead for this, but I LOVE seeing @WSOP / @GGPoker adding value for the grinders. See you in the Bahamas.

Even Allen Kessler, who is a bit of stickler when it comes to promotions, was all about it.

Kessler followed it up with another post suggesting that the WSOP do the promotion in 2024 but expand it to apply to the WSOP, WSOP Europe, and WSOP Bahamas.

Require 1 cash from each venue with similar or even higher incentives! the Chainsaw suggested.

The promotion seems to be having the desired effect as several players have revealed that theyre now planning to make a trip to the Bahamas, including Dylan Weisman.

Looks like I am going to be booking a last minute trip to Bahamas, he wrote. Have never been before. Any pro tips for the people out there? Is there a specific room type I want to avoid getting? Where do I wire money to? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman had just one question for WSOP officials Cmon, nothing for 2 main events?
