Healthy Competition? A Closer Look At The $48.5 Million* Gamble In The Bahamas

The initial turnout for the WSOP Paradise event in The Bahamas posed challenges, especially the underwhelming day 1C attendance, raising concerns over a record-breaking overlay.

Despite initial setbacks, the concerted effort from GGpoker proved beneficial, with 600 online entrants contributing significantly to the prize pool and bringing some relief to the overlay.

With a final count of 1,978 entries, the WSOP Paradise event faced a $550,000 overlay, a significant figure but far less catastrophic than earlier projections suggested.

The series managed to collect over $10.4 million in rake overall, indicating that despite challenges, the event was still profitable and offered insights into future iterations.
