2008 World Series of Poker Schedule Released
|
Harrah's have released their schedule for the 2008 World Series of Poker.
There will be 55 events this year. In an interesting twist, there will be a $10,000 championship event starting the World Series of Poker, and a $10,000 Championship closing the World Series of Poker. The first bracelet event, which will begin on May 30th, 2008, is the World Championship Pot Limit Hold'em event with a $10k buyin. The final table of the $10k No Limit Hold'em Championship will take place on July 16th.
There are going to be six other Championship events this year in addition to Pot Limit Hold'em and No Limit Hold'em: Heads-Up No Limit Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud, Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi/Low Split Eight or Better, Pot Limit Omaha, and a Mixed Event.
There will be eight $1500 No Limit Hold'em buy-in tournaments this year. The first of these has two starting days to accomodate the expected tidal wave of interest. It will begin on May 31st, and be bracelet event #2.
WSOP officials have said that they plan on having a "soft opening" of the tournament room which will begin on May 28th. This is to accomodate early registrations and satellite tournaments.
WSOP officials have also said that the much-maligned poker tents won't be in use this year.
The main event of the event begins on July 3rd, 2008.
