World Series of Poker schedule announced
12th December, 2007
Harrah's Entertainment has revealed the agenda for the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) which organisers are describing as the "most exciting schedule yet".
The casino operator announced that next year's schedule will include 55 events and that the types of tournament have been mixed around to "keep it interesting for our players and fans".
Included in the 55 tournaments will be eight $1,500 (£735) buy-in No-Limit Hold 'em tournaments which are expected to draw the biggest crowds.
Commissioner of the WSOP Jeffrey Pollack said: "This is our most exciting schedule yet.
"Both amateur and professional poker players will have new opportunities to compete for a WSOP bracelet and can choose from the widest variety of games and buy-ins ever offered in one poker tournament and certainly at the WSOP."
The series, which runs from May 30th to July 16th will start with a $10,000 buy-in World Championship of Pot-Limit Hold 'em and conclude with a $10,000 buy-in World Championship of No Limit Texas Hold 'em.
