Together they will deliver a world-class poker experience during every sailing aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady, which offers four and five-night cruises departing from the brand’s homeport in Miami.

The $320 buy-in “WPT at Sea” main event will be held during each sailing. Based on the number of participants, the marquee event may award a WPT prize package (valued at $5,000), which may be used on any future voyage or WPT event.

With another first, the WPT at Sea Poker Room has established a seamless experience, with cashless participation, allowing all transactions to be easily handled on Sailors’ wearable devices.

Recently named the top recipient of Cruise Critic’s 2023 Cruisers’ Choice Awards, securing the No. 1 placement across all categories, Virgin Voyages continues to win travelers over with its unrivaled value and unique approach inspired by the modern romance of sailing.

World Poker Tour releases schedule for first half of upcoming Season XXII

Published by: Haley Hintze

The World Poker Tour has released the slate of festivals for the first half of its upcoming Season XXII, with a dozen series on tap at destinations around the globe between January and June of 2024.

The WPT’s first 12 branded events of 2024 include five main-tour festivals, beginning with a January trip to Cambodia, along with seven WPT Prime series. The 12 now-confirmed stops include already-announced series such as the WPT Voyage next spring, conducted onboard the Valient Lady cruise ship while at sea in the Caribbean. That six-day cruise, which begins on March 31, 2024, includes both main-tour and Prime tournament offerings.

Cambodia visit kicks off WPT main tour’s twenty-second season

Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s NagaWorld Integrated Resort will host the WPT’s Season XXII opener. The $3,500 main event is scheduled to run January 25-29, 2024, and it’s the first of two trips to southeast Asia that the WPT will make in the first half of 2022.

The WPT’s main tour, however, will resume its early-2024 run in March, when it returns to greater Sacramento for the WPT Rolling Thunder event. The main event at Lincoln, California’s, Thunder Valley Casino Resort runs March 21-26 and features a $3,500 buy-in as well.

After the WPT Voyage spectacular, two more main-tour stops round out that portion of the WPT Season XXII slate . Both are returning stops. Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, near Miami, hosts the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown April 19-23. Then it’s off to to Oklahoma, where the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, near the Texas border, hosts the 2024 WPT Choctaw main event May 3-6.

Four European stops highlight early 2024 WPT Prime offerings

Besides the WPT Voyage launch at the start of April, the first half of the WPT’s Season XXII schedule includes six other Prime main events, and four of those take place in Europe. Prime main-event action begins with a February 1-5, 2024, stop at Pasino Grand in Aix-en-Provence, France for the €1,100 WPT Prime Aix-en-Provence event.

From there it’s on to WPT Prime Amsterdam at the Netherlands’ Holland Casino, for another €1,100 main that runs March 19-22. Other European Prime mains next spring include WPT Prime Slovakia, held April 11-15 at Card Casino Bratislava, and WPT Prime San Remo at Casino di Sanremo, June 601.

Los Angeles, CA (April 14, 2022)  – The World Poker Tour ® today announced dates for two upcoming WPT® events in 2022, at The Star Gold Coast in Australia. The first event will be a $1,500 AUD buy-in WPT® Prime event, which is WPT’s newly branded mid-stakes tournament offering replacing the WPTDeepStacks™ brand later this year, followed by the first-ever WPT festival in Australia containing a Main Tour event.

“With the largest ever WPTDeepStacks Amsterdam with Holland Casino and the largest WPTDeepStacks event in our history with The Star Sydney, we are expecting the upcoming WPTDeepStacks Thunder Valley to be a fitting farewell to this brand,” said Angelica Hael, VP of Global Tour Management for WPT. “With the introduction of WPT Prime at The Star Gold Coast, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to further elevate our global players’ experience.”

The WPT Prime Gold Coast festival will take place June 9 – 20, with the main event being held June 16 – 20. The festival’s main event will include new features players can expect from WPT Prime events, including Live Stream coverage, Action Clocks, Player of the Festival and Player of the Year leaderboards, and more.

“With interstate and international travellers returning to our shores in search of incredible experiences and entertainment, we’re excited to announce The Star Gold Coast will welcome not one, but two, major poker events later this year,” says The Star Gold Coast Chief Operating Officer, Jessica Mellor.

“In a real coup for the city, the WPT Main Tour event will make its way to the Gold Coast for the very first time in September, bringing all the prestige of the best poker players in the world. Meanwhile, WPT Prime Gold Coast in June is expected to attract interest from thousands of poker fans across Australia and the Asia Pacific after our 2021 event set a new record with over 1,000 entries.”

The Star Gold Coast festival dates run from September 15 – 27, with Australia’s inaugural $5,400 AUD buy-in WPT Main Tour stop taking place September 23 – 27.

The recently-concluded festival at The Star Sydney boasted an all-time high for most WPTDeepStacks ™ Main Event Entries (2,023), as well as new WPT Asia-Pacific records for Total Festival Entries (6392), Total Festival Prize Pool ($6,588,590), and Main Event Prize Pool ($2,690,590).

Each event will be livestreamed and broadcast globally on WPT.com and the WPT YouTube and Twitch channels. For more information, including World Poker Tour event schedules and the tour’s latest news, visit  WPT.com .

Here’s Everything You May Have Missed from Triton Jeju

Elton tsang cashed for over $6.3 million in two tournaments at triton super high roller series jeju, but he was far from the only big winner as the festival crowned 17 champions and awarded over $101 million in prizes..

After 17 days of action at South Korea’s Jeju Shinhwa World and over $100 million in payouts, the opening Triton Super High Roller Series of 2024 officially came to a close on Thursday.

There were big winners, as there are at any festival, but the themes that came to bear over 17 events were balance and parity. Nobody left Jeju with more than one trophy. Seven of the 17 winners were first-time Triton champions and only three players – Mikita Badziakouski (5), Fedor Holz (4), and Mike Watson (3) – won more than their second Triton title. Nobody made more than three final tables.

Most notable, perhaps, was the overall turnout and number of new faces. By the time the last card fell in the final Short Deck event, 193 unique individuals recorded at least one cash over the course of the festival and 85 made at least one final table.

With much of the action taking place during late-night hours in North America, here are some of the headlines you might have missed during the Triton Super High Roller Series Jeju.

Elton Tsang Tops Jeju’s Biggest Winners

Elton Tsang has played a limited live tournament schedule since his first recorded cash on The Hendon Mob in 2006, but over the last decade, Tsang’s results when he does play are impressive – most notably in 2016, when he won $12 million in the €1 million buy-in One Drop event in Monte Carlo. He became a Triton regular in 2022 and had a number of close calls before falling short of a Triton title.

That drought finally ended in Jeju, as Tsang put on a pair of impressive back-to-back performances in two of the most lucrative tournaments of the festival. It started with a $150,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em event, which Tsang won for just over $4.2 million. Straight off of that run, Tsang final tabled the $100,000 Triton Jeju Main Event and finished third – good for another $2.1 million. Those were his only two cashes during this festival, but they were enough to make Tsang, who is from Hong Kong, the biggest winner of all.

Roman Hrabec , who defeated Tsang on his way to the Triton Jeju Main Event title, banked $4.33 million for his win – one of six cashes during the series. Hrabec, a Czech pro, more than doubled his career tournament earnings in a single night.

Biao Ding , who finished second to Tsang in the $150K, was one of only three players – along with Tsang and Sergio Aido – to record multiple seven-figure cashes during the festival.

Mikita Badziakouski Ties for Second-Most Titles; Adrian Mateos Headlines Among First-Timers

Jason Koon has 10 career Triton titles, twice as many as his nearest competitors at five. Phil Ivey nearly broke through for No. 6 in Jeju, only to finish second to Ding in the $50,000 Pot Limit Omaha event to remain tied with Danny Tang at 5 wins. Mikita Badziakouski joined them with his fifth career Triton win in the $100,000 Short Deck event.

Just behind them at four Triton wins are Fedor Holz, who took down the opening event in Jeju, and Wai Kin Yong.

Making Moves on the All-Time Money List

As you might expect in a festival with $101,986,332 in total prizes awarded, there were some major moves among the leaders on the all-time tournament money list. Everyone made up ground on Bryn Kenney ($65.2M) and Justin Bonomo ($63.4M), neither of whom played in Jeju, and current No. 3 Jason Koon ($56.7M) only made up a small percentage of the gap between him and the top two.

But others made far more significant leaps. Stephen Chidwick all but pulled even with Koon, climbing to $56.5 million courtesy of his Jeju results. Dan Smith ($53.9M) also tacked onto his career total, while Badziakouski ($52.8M) jumped Daniel Negreanu ($52.2 million) for sixth all-time on The Hendon Mob’s list.

Last Haven of Short Deck Poker

With the World Series of Poker dropping Short Deck Poker from their schedule for 2024, Triton stands as the final tour consistently running tournaments in that game. There were four Short Deck events during the festival, with buy-ins of $20,000 (42 entries), $25,000 event (52 entries), $50,000 (67 entries) and $100,000 (34 entries).

The game has a strong regional appeal, but the high rollers who’ve found success in other games clearly have a strong grasp of it as well as three out of the four winners hail from elsewhere – Chidwick (U.K.), Badziakouski (Belarus), and Watson (Canada).

Jesse Lonis Knows Nothing of Jetlag

One of the most impressive Triton Jeju-related accomplishments didn’t happen entirely in Korea. Jesse Lonis made his first-ever Triton trip and cashed in three events. His last result, a final table appearance in the $25,000 GGMillion$ event on March 11, ended in seventh place. He left Korea, either on the night of the 11 th or the morning of March 12 and flew back to Las Vegas – a 12-hour trip at minimum, excluding customs and other delaying factors.

Shortly after getting home, Lonis decided to immediately return to the table. He entered a $10,000 High Roller at Wynn Las Vegas on March 13 and ultimately defeated Ethan ‘Rampage’ Yau heads up to win the title. And as if that wasn’t enough, the following day on March 14, Lonis won a $320 WSOP Circuit ring online, outlasting a field of 303. He did admit, following that WSOPC run, that sleep had become something of an issue .
