The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to usher in a new era for its winter flagship, WSOP Paradise, after confirming the festival will move from Atlantis Paradise Island to the luxury Baha Mar resort, also in the Bahamas.

The 2026 edition, slated to run from Tuesday, December 1 to Friday, December 18, will shuffle up and deal in a new home roughly six miles up the Bahamian coast from where Austria’s Bernhard Binder announced himself to the wider poker world, capturing the record-breaking 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event just a few months ago.

In an announcement on social media platform X, the WSOP wrote, "The next chapter of WSOP Paradise is coming... Bigger. Better. Unmissable. This December, the world's fastest-growing poker event arrives at the stunning Baha Mar."

A J turn saw all check to the 7 river, and Miller bet out 23,000. Koh folded, and Beutlhauser called. Miller showed his 46 bluff, but Beutlhauser tabled his AK to take the pot with ace-high.

Aleksandr Boitcov opened from early position and was called by Michael Banducci in the cutoff and Michael Weiss in the big blind.

On the 652 flop, Weiss checked to Boitcov, who bet 7,000 and Banducci called. Weiss then check-raised to 35,000, and both opponents called.

Weiss led for a healthy size of 115,000 on the 8 turn, sending Boitcov into the tank for a while before he folded, and Banducci called quickly.

On the 9 turn, Weiss slowed down with a check before Banducci bet 205,000, and Weiss opted to lay down his hand after a minute's tank, conceding a massive pot to the chipleader without showdown.

Benson Scoops a Three-Way Pot

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sean Troha opened to 6,500 from middle position and was looked up by Jack Benson in the next seat. Action folded to Huihan Wu on the button, who three-bet to 21,500 and got two callers.

The flop came 7105 and the action was checked around for the players to see the K peel off on the turn. It was rinse and repeat on the betting front, and the dealer rolled off the Q as the river.

Troha checked to Benson, who fired out a river bet of 50,000. This sent Wu deep into the tank for two to three minutes before he mucked his hand, as did Troha, and the pot was shipped to Benson with no showdown.
