Die WSOP 2023 ist in den Büchern. Mit Blick auf die 54th Annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, treten nicht nur zahlreiche Erfolgsstories, schmerzhafte Bad Beats, persönliche Geschichten oder Emotionen pur zu Tage auch jede Menge Zahlen, lieferte die diesjährige Auflage der Pokerweltmeisterschaft. Viele von ihnen beeindruckend, überraschend oder rekordverdächtig. Hättet ihr gedacht, dass die diesjährigen Buy-Ins das Bruttoinlandsprodukt so mancher Staaten überstiegen, dass WSOP Main Event Champion Daniel Weinman mehr Steuern von seinem Gewinn zahlen muss, als das gesamte Payout für Rang 3 gewesen ist, dass knapp 11 Millionen Dollar im Tronc für Floormen und Dealer gelandet sind oder Bulgarien mehr Bracelets geholt hat als Deutschland, Österreich oder die Schweiz?
Entries, Buy-Ins, Payouts, Fees
Die WSOP 2023 machte sich ab dem 22. Juni daran, im Horseshoe und Paris in Las Vegas Rekorde zu brechen – und das tat sie auch!
Entries: In den 95 Bracelet Events kamen insgesamt 215.655 Entries zusammen. Davon allein 23.088 in Event #18, dem $300 Gladiators of Poker. Mit 18.188 Total Entries in den $1.000 Mystery Millions, Event #3, 15.894 Starts im $400 Colossus NLH, Event #70, 10.416 Teilnahmen im $1.500 Millionaire Maker, Event #53, und nicht zuletzt 10.043 Starter*innen im WSOP Main Event, Event #76, gab es gleich 5 Events, die 5-stellige Teilnehmerzahlen verbuchen konnten.
Buy-Ins: $440.562.594 US-Dollar kamen bei der diesjährigen WSOP an Startgeldern zusammen. Das entspricht mehr als das dreifache Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) von Nauru, mehr als das doppelte von Palau und auch immer noch deutlich mehr als das jährliche BIP der Marshall Inseln ($259.500.000) oder von Mikronesien ($404.000.000).
Payouts: Von den Buy-Ins flossen $401.837.583 wieder in die Preispools der einzelnen Events und damit zurück an die Spieler*innen.
Entry Fees / Dealer & Staff: Im Umkehrschluss wurden damit $38.925.011 von den Veranstaltern einbehalten. Davon verteilten sich $27.247.508 auf Entry Fees, während $11.6777.503 im Tronc für Dealer und das Turnierpersonal landeten.
Bracelets, Bracelets, Bracelets
Der Bracelet-Rekord, der alles in den Schatten stellte, war ganz klar der Gewinn des 17. WSOP-Bracelets von Phil Hellmuth. Damit baute er die Führung in der ewigen Rangliste der Gold Bracelet-Gewinner weiter aus. Auf dem geteilten 2. Platz folgen weiterhin mit 10 Bracelets Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey und der kürzlich verstorbene Doyle Brunson.
Den Rekord an Mehrfachgewinnen bei der diesjährigen WSOP teilen sich die Doppelgewinner Chris Brewer, Josh Arieh, Chad Eveslage und Ryan Miller. Den All-Time-Rekord von 3 Braceletgewinnen in einem Jahr konnten sie nicht einstellen oder überbieten. Dieses Kunststück bleibt weiterhin Puggy Pearson (1973, USA), Phil Hellmuth (1993, USA), Ted Forrest (1993, USA), Phil Ivey (2002, USA), Jeff Lisandro (2009, AUS) und George Danzer (2014, GER) vorbehalten.
Nicht überraschend ging der Großteil der gewonnenen Gold Bracelets an die USA – genau genommen konnten 58 US-Amerikaner*innen ein (oder eben zwei) WSOP Armbänder mit nach Hause nehmen. 6-mal war Kanada, aber auch China erfolgreich. Platz 4 im „Medaillenspiegel“ belegt Brasilien mit 3 Bracelets. 2 der goldenen Geschmeide gingen nach Bulgarien, das damit Platz 5 in der Nationenwertung belegt, während 16 Nationen einmal erfolgreich waren, unter ihnen auch Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz.
Das Rekord Main Event!
Nicht wenige dachten, dass die Rekorde aus dem Main Event 2006 mit 8.773 Entries und einem Rekord Payout von $12.000.000 für den Champion Jamie Gold für die Ewigkeit gemacht seien – doch der neuerliche Pokerboom setzte die Messlatte jetzt noch ein wenig höher:
10.043 Entries sorgten für einen Preispool von $93.399.900, der unter 1.508 ITM Spieler*innen aufgeteilt wurde, bei einer Siegprämie von $12.100.000 für Daniel Weinman – allesamt neue Rekordwerte.
Die Main Event Final Table Payouts … nach Steuern
Genauso spannend wie die Zahlen der Payjumps am Final Table des Main Events, sind die Zahlen, die am Ende nach Steuern zu Buche stehen. Je nach Heimatland, Beruf und Steuerabkommen verschiebt sich hier sogar oft das bereinigte Ranking von dem Geld, was „hinten rauskommt“. Die Kolleg*innen von PokerNews haben sich die einzelnen fiskalischen Regelungen in der jeweiligen Heimatländer und die Berufe der Finalisten angeschaut und danach folgende Payout-Tabelle nach Steuern erstellt:
| Platz | Spieler | Nation | Preisgeld | Steuern | Preisgeld nach Steuern |
