In the words of Jack Efel, the tournament director of the WSOP; “Something For Everyone” on his description of the 2010 WSOP schedule. He really was truthful.
Firstly, the 41st WSOP will kick off on the 27th of May with the final table once again taking place in November. Again, the third time the final table has been delayed for the sake of television ratings and as per usual the decision to do so is extremely controversial. It does seem however that this decision is here to stay. The main event next year begins on the 5th of July and play continues until the 17th of July when 9 players remain.
Similar to the 2009 schedule, the event will be held at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Vegas and there will be 57 events, among them 1 however there will be quite notable changes and improvements for the 2010 event. The most noticeable changing that being the elimination of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event and the creation of a replacement event – the $50,000 Players Championship. This event will be an eight game mixed event. This tournament will consist of Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, No Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Hold’em, and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball.
“We are planning for the largest WSOP ever and look forward to welcoming all players to the Rio in Las Vegas next summer.” Jack Effel
“We look forward to following and reporting on the WSOP and getting involved with the community.” James Grant.
