The 2025 WSOP ended on July 16 with record-breaking achievements, including 246,960 entries, $481 million in prize pools, and 43 million-dollar payouts. 

The 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) officially concluded on July 16 after an eight-week schedule at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas, setting multiple all-time records in entries, prize pools, and payouts.

WSOP Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart remarked, “The poker renaissance was on full display at the 2025 WSOP. If you missed the amazing action, the good news is that you can inevitably expect bigger and better next year.” 

“A sincere thank you to every player and staffer who came to Las Vegas and made this a summer to remember.”

The introduction of the WSOP+ app played a significant role in improving operational efficiency by reducing registration delays. 

The summer attracted a wide range of participants, including professional poker players, emerging talents, and celebrities, all competing for WSOP bracelets.
