Updates from Paradise: Hellmuth's Poseidon and Game of Gold Cast Reunion
The long-awaited principal tournament of the WSOP Paradise series – $5,000 Main Event Championship – has already started in the Bahamas. According to the results of the three starting flights, 2,703 participants took part in the competition, of which only 400 made it to Day 2.
Legendary Phil Hellmuth also took part in the Main Event. He has a great tradition of appearing at tournaments of this scale dressed as some bright character and making his entrance a real show. He decided to spread this tradition to the event in the Bahamas, where he came to the start of the game day as Sea King Triton or Poseidon.

However, he did not catch the royal luck and was already eliminated in the starting flight. But Daniel Negreanu, who played with him in the same flight, went on and will continue the game the next day.
Also, one of the main topics of discussion at the series is still the super popular show "Game of Gold" from GGPoker, whose participants have become real stars. Almost all of them have now met in the Bahamas (except Johan Guilbert, who chose to participate in the WPT World Championship). And on December 13, a special reunion of the star cast of the series will be filmed, where they will answer questions from fans and talk about their successes on the series.
