Harrah’s Enterprises, operator of the World Series of Poker, has revealed the official schedule of events for the 41st annual WSOP set to kick off from May 27th, 2010 with the Casino Employees No-Limit Hold’em, and final events on November 9th, 2010 with the Main Event Table.
The 2010 World Series of Poker schedule features a total of 57 bracelets poker events, including three brand new events ($50,000 Player’s Championship Event #2, $10,000 H.O.R.S.E Event #43, World Championship, $25,000 6-Handed No-Limit tournament Event #52). The WSOP 2010 schedule of events refers to a few changes, for example, the $50.000 H.O.R.S.E event has been substituted with the $50,000 “Player’s Championship” (Event #2), featuring eight different games (Limit Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball).
The first 5 weekends of the poker series (May 29-30, June 5-6, June 12-13, June 19-20 and June 26-27) will include $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournaments with two preliminary flights. Additionally, a sixth schedule of events on July 1-2, will also offer the same event at the same buy-in level. The 41st annual World Series of Poker will finish on Monday, July 5th with the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship Main Event. The Main Event will be interrupted on July 17th, and will continue on four months later with the “November Nine” final table running from November 6th-9th
Other variations slated for the WSOP 2010 include a number of new rules that will normalize the daily amount of play, and the addition of more poker tables. According to the WSOP 2010 official site, the entire convention center of the Rio Las Vegas will be commited to the 2010 World Series of Poker, with tournament tables in the 58,000 square foot Pavilion and the 38,000 square foot Amazon Room.
The 2010 World Series of Poker is also giving poker players more than five months to sign-up for the first event on the World Series of Poker 2010 schedule. Pre-registration for the WSOP is offered at the Main Cage of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino and online at the World 2010 WSOP official site. Sign-up for all bracelet poker events will remain open until the start of the third level (approximately 2 hours, 20 minutes after start time) or until all seats are sold.
“Whatever your game and whatever your bankroll, the 2010 WSOP schedule offers something for everyone. We are planning for the largest WSOP ever and look forward to welcoming all players to the Rio in Las Vegas next summer.” said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel.
