Hundreds of online poker players will head off to Las Vegas this summer to play in the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event, courtesy of GGPoker.
On Thursday the company announced details on the Road to Vegas 2023 qualifying promotion, which includes at least 600 seats won via satellite tournaments.
That total includes 500 seats guaranteed at GGPoker and another 100 through the ClubGG subscription poker platform. The company also announced a nice bonus for players heading to Vegas this summer. Some extra cash will be on the line.
“To sweeten the pot, if any player that qualifies for the 2023 Main Event at GGPoker becomes this year’s WSOP Main Event champion,” the company notes in a news release, “GGPoker will hand them an extra $1 million bonus on top of the winner’s purse.”
