2008 WSOP Schedule of Events Has Been Released

December 13, 2007

The World Series of Poker schedule has been released for 2008, and the long awaited list of dates comes with some pretty new and exciting changes to be seen in the upcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP). The most notable change is that we will have not just one main event $10,000 buy in no limit game. The WSOP is gearing up for major high stakes tournament action at Harrah’s this year! In total there will be six ten thousand dollar World Series of Poker events in 2008!

The 2008 World Series will kick off on May 30th beginning with the first of these $10,000 buy in events. The first 10k event is the Pot Limit Holdem World Championship which has increased greatly in popularity throughout the history of the WSOP.

The increase in 10k events has however brought a decrease in some of the smaller and medium sized poker events at the WSOP. In total the 2008 WSOP will feature 8 $10,000 buy-in events, and just 31 events that can be bought into for less than 2k, it looks as though we’ll be seeing a lot more professional poker pro’s this year, and perhaps a few less amateur poker players just looking to sit down to a game of cards with the big boys.

There is however a five day span of the world series of poker (6/17/08 - 6/21/08) that medium stakes players will want to make a note of. During this period of time, three $1,500 buy in No Limit Holdem tournaments are available. Perfect timing for a trip to Vegas, a mini vacation, and some serious World Series worthy card play.
