2009 WSOP Schedule


The moment we have been waiting for…

The 2009 World Series of Poker schedule has been officially released. And there are plenty of new and exciting things going on this year!

Book your flight, book your hotel room and gather up your cash to get ready for the 2009 WSOP.

This will be the 40th year of the WSOP, which will begin with the Casino Employees game on May 27th follow by the 40th Anniversary Event with a $40,000 buy-in. The 2009 WSOP will continue to be run until July 15th, once the final table players have been named for the Main Event. The Main Event final table will then reconvene and action will start on November 7th.

What’s so different about this year’s WSOP? It seems that the tournament directors may have been listening to some of the players, including Daniel Negreanu who called for an end to rebuy events saying that it was like buying your way to a bracelet. The $1,000 No Limit Hold’em four day event has been put back on the schedule and a dozen events with buyins of $10,000 or more are also listed. Mega satellite games are set to run for those events as well as online satellites to the Main Event.

The 2009 WSOP will also have more events, 57 bracelets will be up for grabs this year, up from the 55 bracelets that were given out last year. There are 39 events that are priced at $2,500 or less. This seems to be a wise move on the part of the series organizers as they have been accused in recent years of being too elitist toward the top pros.
