2010 World Series of Poker

[stacy123]

The schedule for the 2010 World Series of Poker has been released.

The 41st annual World Series of Poker is set to begin on May 27th 2010 when live action and satellites start. ESPN has exclusive television rights and will air the events from the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Fifty-seven gold bracelets will be available for winning which is the same as last year.

May 28th is the first "Open Bracelet" event and it is the $50,000 buy-in Player's Championship. That is the most expensive buy-in event to ever open the WSOP.

Playing for the bracelet and the prestigious Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, the event will follow an eight-game format made popular by the late poker legend, and those participating in the mythical "Big Game" around Las Vegas card rooms. Over the first four days, Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball will be played, with the Final Table being No-Limit Hold'em, as was the case when Reese won the inaugural $50K buy-in event in 2006. ESPN will provide television coverage of this event under the new format.

And the fun and excitement begins!
