Just like any other World Series of Poker (WSOP) festival, the debuting WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas is headlined by the Main Event which got underway over the weekend. The $5,300 buy-in, $15M GTD tournament features a seven-figure top prize, and the WSOP has sweetened the pot by awarding a custom-made gold bracelet to the winner.
Bracelet Design has Island Twist
In partnership with world-renowned memorabilia manufacturer Jostens, the WSOP has prepared a personalized bracelet for the winner of the WSOP Paradise Main Event. The new bracelet is custom-made from 10-karat yellow gold similar to the classic summer trophy, but it comes with an island flare, representing the newest home of the series, as revealed by WSOP Vice President Gregory Chochon.
Weighing nearly 95 grams, the bracelet is hand-set with 494 genuine blue topaz round stones and will land in the hands of the winner which will be crowned on December 12.
