The 2010 WSOP schedule of events refers to a few alterations, for example, the $50.000 H.O.R.S.E event has been replaced with the $50,000 “Player’s Championship” (Event #2), featuring eight distinctive 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 initial 5 weekends of the series (May 29-30, June 5-6, June 12-13, June 19-20 and June 26-27) will highlight $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournaments with two initial flights. In addition, a sixth schedule on July 1-2, will also feature the same event at the same buy-in level. The 41st annual WSOP will finalize on Monday, July 5th with the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship Main Event. The Main Event will take some time off on July 17th, and will continue on four months later with the “November Nine” final table playing from November 6th-9th

Other changes slated for the WSOP 2010 include a number of new regulations that will control the amount of play on a daily basis, and the addition of more poker tables. According to the WSOP site, the whole convention center of the Rio will be commited to the WSOP 2010, with tournament tables in the 58,000 square foot Pavilion and the 38,000 square foot Amazon Room.

The WSOP is also giving poker players over five months to register for the first poker event on the WSOP schedule. Pre-registration for the World Series of Poker 2010 is available at the Main Cage of the Rio Hotel and Casino Las Vegas and online at the World WSOP 2010 website. Registration for all bracelet events will stay 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.
