And so it begins, WSOP 2026.

[tikay]

The first teaser has been announced, just the bookend dates for now.


Following the European leg, the poker world will descend upon the Las Vegas Strip for the 57th annual World Series of Poker. The WSOP confirms the series will run from May 26 to July 15, 2026.

Players are encouraged to book early to secure the best rates at the two host venues, Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas; please visit www.caesars.com and use code WSOP26.



Going on past years, later this month they'll announce the Headline events, with the full schedule landing maybe next month.

Haven't been over for nearly 3 years, but need to make a trip out before 2028 to keep my 'comp' status alive with MLife.

Will next door be doing anything this summer around the WSOP?

Will likely only pop over for a week, but will probably plan it around something in the WSOP as I'm in Cardiff when the UFC card is on.

Hi Mark.

I retired last May so I've no idea what Sky Poker's Vegas plans are this year. They still invite me to SPT's which is very kind of them, so if I get another invite in the near future (if indeed SPT's continue) I'll ask.

I plan to go across though, hopefully the same sort of thing as last year, 3 or 4 weeks whilst the various Omaha stuff is on, mainly Big O & a bit of Mixed Game stuff, which I've become partial to, especially 2-7 Triple Draw & the like.

I'd book it now if I could, but it depends when my favoured stuff will be running. Last year they front-loaded the Series with all the Big O & Omaha Mix stuff & the other Rooms all followed suit, so it was perfect for me, & I'm hoping very much they do the same this year. I have no interest in playing any NLH over there (maybe a Seniors or two but that's it) as I'm completely shite at NLH & it does not give me the buzz & zing that the Big O & Mixed Game stuff does.

All health permitting, obv, but at the mo I seem to be in acceptable if not decent nick.

How are you coping these days?

I did recall you'd finally taken a well overdue foot off the gas and moved onto the golf tour, but as you'd been there so long wasn't sure if they'd have you helping unofficially.

I couldn't do that long now, and the last time we went after dad passed I was done in after two weeks, and didn't even drink.

I've got some rooms booked on random dates in June/July, but will obv cancel/rebook if anything crops up that takes my fancy.

Can't remember the last time I played, but would likely be dipping into the dark arts if I did play anything. At least I've got a built-in excuse when I get rinsed in those, as I've only been playing 5 minutes

Not long now, and you're probably racking up some serious miles on the course which will keep you in good nick for some traipsing around Vegas come June!

Must be up to about 30 MRIs now, and they've still not found a brain, but all good other than that!

I did reply to your kind message, once I realised that I had been logged out after not being on for a period of time, I guess
