2009 World Series of Poker Schedule Released

The 2009 WSOP Schedule was released Monday morning amid speculation and debate over some of the changes for this year. The major changes are the addition of a $40k buy in event to commemorate the anniversary of the World Series of Poker, and the removal of all rebuy events.

The Series will start with the Casino Employees game on May 26th and end with the final 9 players in the Main Event have been named. The final table action will then resume on November 7th.

“We were trying to do something special to commemorate the 40th annual World Series of Poker,” said WSOP Communications Director, Seth Palansky, in creating the $40,000 event. “It did not receive unanimous support in this economy, but everyone sort of agreed to it once we made it clear that this is not intended to be an annual event.”

This year’s series will have 57 events including the Casino Employee game, the Ladies Championship and dozen events with buy-ins of $10k or more! The schedule is listed below.
