The 45th running of World Series of Poker will begin on May 27 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The event will run over 29 consecutive days. The $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold ‘em WSOP main event championship will be held from July 5-14, wrapping up with a final nine players who will then square off in November.
Here are some key dates:
May 31 – The opening Saturday event features the $1500 buy-in No-Limit Hold ‘em “Millionaire Maker” where the winner walks away with potentially 666 times their investment – a guaranteed $1,000,000.
June 29 – The return of the Big One for ONE DROP, the $1,000,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold ‘em charity event to benefit ONE DROP where the winner can conceivably walk away with the largest prize ever awarded in poker—in excess of $20,000,000—with the field capped at 56 players.
July 3-4 – The return of the Little One for ONE DROP, the $1,111 buy-in No-Limit Hold ‘em event to benefit the ONE DROP charity. The Little One for ONE DROP will also be the last No-Limit Hold ‘em event offered prior to the WSOP Main Event.
The full event schedule has not been released.
