WSOP Paradise continued at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Nassau, with 2021 WSOP Main Event champion Koray Aldemir winning Event #12: $10,000 8-Game Mix. Aldemir topped the 115-entrant field to win $287,800 in prize money, while also earning 288 PGT points.

With this victory, Aldemir eclipses $23 million in lifetime tournament earnings, according to The Hendon Mob. His $23,201,015 in earnings has him sitting fourth on the Germany All-Time Money List, and 52nd on the All-Time Money List.

The 115-entrant field amassed a $1,115,500 prize pool that paid the final 18 players. Bryce Yockey, Benny Glaser, Konstantin Maslak, Jesse Lonis, and Dylan Weisman all finished in the money and earned valuable PGT points for their bids to qualify for the season-ending PGT $1,000,000 Championship.
