Details are emerging of the 2020 WSOP, which will be held again at The Rio. Here are the key points from the rather lengthy & splurge-filled official missive sent ouit by the WSOP yesterday;


The longest-running, richest and most prestigious tournament series – opens its doors on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and will run for 51 consecutive days through Wednesday, July 15, 2020.

_____________



The first bracelet events will start on Wednesday, May 27, 2020. The opening weekend signature event will be the $500 buy-in, 50,000 starting chip, 50-minute levels record-setting BIG 50 No-Limit Hold’em.  With starting flights scheduled for Thursday, May 28, Friday, May 29, Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 this exceptional value tournament will be another can’t-miss event.

_________________


The $10,000 buy-in Main Event Championship will have three starting flights, on Wednesday, July 1, Thursday, July 2 and Friday, July 3.  Players who compete on July 1 or 2, will return on July 4 to play their Day 2 if they survive their opening flight with chips.  Those that begin on July 3, have July 4 off and return for their Day 2 on Sunday, July 5.  Fields will combine for the first time on Monday, July 6 for Day 3 play and continue through Friday, July 10, which is when the final table is expected to be reached.  An off day is planned for July 11, with the Main Event final table televised on ESPN/ESPN2 July 12-14.

Registration for the Main Event remains open through Level 6, meaning all players participating must be in the field at the end of that first level on July 5.

The third and final event the WSOP can confirm at this time for 2020 is the popular Seniors No-Limit Hold’em Championship.  This $1,000 buy-in, single re-entry tournament will take place Thursday, June 18 at 10am and is open to those age 50 and up.  The final table of this event is expected to take place on Sunday, June 21.

Ohhh, I get there just in time for the 50k ;D

This is a tad frustrating.

I go 5 nights 14th to 19th June, and although it was never with the WSOP schedule in mind, I did kinda hope there might be the option that something juicy and not too expensive could fall in those dates, should I fancy a punt.

As it stands I arrive just after Monster Stack starts, and depart the day the Double Stack event starts. Marv.
But the Ladies and Senior events both fall in my window, of which I am neither (even though its pretty cold, I still don't think I qualify as a woman, just)

Ah well, looks like the plan will remain the bars watching Euro 2020 during the day then playing $1/$3 absolutely steaming on an evening.

WAL

Probably get in the seniors ok ;)

Might see you at the airport.

Comps for us pigeons :)

Why do you say that, Marky147? haha

I know the big WSOP events have live satellites beforehand - do the $1k events have them too? And/or are there any online satellites for them? TIA.

There is a satellite room at the Rio, where they run them from $125 and up, I believe. Winners get paid in 'lammers', unless it has changed.

Thanks, I am there until May 28th so would be great to hit the one on the 27th if I can!

I doubt there will be satellites for those events. There are constant single table tournaments at various buy ins for lammers (live casino equivalent of tournament dollars, for anyone that doesn't know) at the Rio.

Thanks Tal, I shall definitely look into those for when I am there  :)up

More events just released;



https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/

Nuts, that link says the opening $1k tournament is a two dayer, no point me trying to satellite in now :(

I don't believe there are any 1 day events at the WSOP.

I hadn't even considered it when I first saw it, bit dim of me really as I also don't recall ever reading about any one dayers previously, just got over excited! Although there is one this year apparently - the last one on the link you posted, but it  is about six weeks too late for me :(

I might be being a bit dim but where can I see how many days the tournaments are for and which days are day 2 and 3 etc.
Particularly the big 50 on the 27th May and the Omaha hi-lo on 28th May
Been saying I will go for years and never have but that week is a possibility For a first time with the missus

directly under the time which is under the date

I found it - it doesn’t come up on the phone but did on the laptop 👍

This is the one that interests me  :) :) :)

If you're planning on doing a short trip for one or two comps, just be aware that events frequently overrun by a day. Naturally, that's most common in big field holdem events, but it is best to have a bonus day factored into your flight plans.

Except the ones you play Pops.

 :D :D :D

;D

What does Tikay know!!

14 one day events added to the schedule - sometimes known as Online events :D

Although there is ONE live tourney that is a single day event.

9th June - $1500 NLHE Super Turbo Bounty ($500 bounties)

Found another

13 July - $1000 NLHE Super Turbo (I think this is the closer for The Closer)

From a WSOP Press Release today, this amused me, when they were describing the Pavilion Room.



"Live Action Poker: Sometimes referred to as “cash games”"




Huh?

Maybe I'm more out of touch than I thought, but "cash games" have always been exactly that to me.

I assumed the term was a new requirement of the Nevada Gaming Commission, who are a funny lot, but "Kings Lounge" is described in the same e-Mail as "Kings Cash Game Lounge".

The big change this year is all the Rio Daily Deepstacks are moving from Pavilion, & instead going 400 yards or more up the corridor and along to the left to the area known as "Masquerade Village". That's where they used to have the Show in the Sky, & which houses the Kiss franchise & Chippendales theatre.




 (http://i.imgur.com/nVwZqr7.jpg) (https://imgur.com/nVwZqr7)

That's where they just staged the Circuit event. Fine down there but cold, like everywhere else at the Rio.

Would be handy if they still had that Burger King upstairs.

They have a SmashBurger there, right next door to the Chippendales thing. So just go up the escalator by Kiss & you are right in SmashBurger.  

Sell the biggest cornettos on the planet in one of the stores.

Don't tell Tikay that... Haagen Daz shares will be going through the floor this summer.



That must have been where Burger King was.

Still hoping to run some version of it live in November & December according to Ty Stewart.

"We are still hopeful the traditional WSOP may be played November-December and for all of our partners are considering this a brand extension versus a pure replacement,” he told PokerNews. He also revealed that all official ITM statistics (cashes, final tables, etc.) will be tracked and reported, and that player identities would be validated.

Looks like Roberto R just picked up a bracelet and $200,000+ In the GG 1500

Nice way to start the GG Series!

Top bloke, so lovely to see.

That completes his Triple Crown ..

Certainly does.
