[tikay]

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

[hhyftrftdr]

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.

[Marky147]

Probably get in the seniors ok

Might see you at the airport.

Comps for us pigeons

[Colloma]

Why do you say that, Marky147? haha

[Marky147]

Why do you say that, Marky147? haha

Because they'll be the only ones I'm playing

[superwomble]

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.
