The 2023 Grand Poker Series

The 2023 Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series kicked off on May 30 and concluded on July 3. The Downtown Las Vegas summer series featured 89 events offering over $3 million in guaranteed prize money, and at the end of it, 24,402 entrants had competed and $5,587,560 in prize money was awarded.

The Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series featured poker variants suited to fans of mixed games in addition to No Limit Hold��em, including Pot-Limit Omaha, Big O, Mixed Triple Draw Lowball, Limit 2-7 Lowball, H.O.R.S.E., 8-Game Mix, and Dealer��s Choice.

Among those to claim Golden Nugget titles were 2004 WSOP Main Event champ Greg Raymer (Event #77: $600 NLH Seniors Championship for $32,000), Kyle Jeffrey (Event #41: $300 NLH Mystery Bounty for $55,485), and Edward Holt (Event #32: Bar Poker Open Championship for $100,000).

The series culminated with the second annual $1,100 buy-in $1,000,000 GTD PokerNews Cup. The tournament featured the popular mystery bounty format, and a whopping 2,331 entrants flocked to the felt to create a $2,261,070 prize pool, smashing the guarantee and setting a new record for the largest prize pool in Golden Nugget Las Vegas history. The United Kingdom��s Johnny Kelly claimed the trophy and the $176,540 top prize in addition to mystery bounties.

Here's a look at some other winners from the closing events of the 2023 Grand Poker Series.
