Caesars Entertainment has released the WSOP 2013 official schedule on 14 February. The 44th poker world championship launches on 29 May at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and ends for the summer on 15 July with the $10,000 Main Event nine-handed final table bubble. A total of 62 bracelet events will be held this year.
The opening event is, as usual, the Casino Employees NLHE, accompanied by an introductory tournament in the first event week that is prone to special attention: the Event #6 $1,500 Millionaire Maker NLHE. The re-entry tournament has a $1,000,000 guaranteed top prize, for which organisers altered the usual WSOP payout structure.
The venue: Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino
Three events that debuted last year will return: the Mix-Max NLHE, the Ante Only NLHE and the Four-Handed NLHE as well, in addition to now classics as the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, the $25,000 Six-Handed NLHE, the Seniors Event and the Ladies Event. In the latter tournament, a major change has been implemented: since men have regularly turned up in the event in the past years and organisers lack the legal tools to prevent them from entering, it is now officially open to males as well. However, they have to pay ten times the buy-in of the ladies’: instead of $1,000, they can enter only for $10,000.
As has already been announced, there will be no $1,000,000 Big One this year: instead its “little brother” event, the $1,111 Little One for ONE DROP will be held. Big Ones will be in the schedule in every two years, with the Little Ones in between. $111 of every (re-)entry into the event will go for the ONE DROP foundation.
For the 61 events of WSOP 2012, 74,766 players registered and a total prize pool of $222 million was amassed.
