There are 57 bracelet-worthy events this year at the 2009 version of the WSOP. Here are the ones I’m personally looking forward to:
Thursday, May 28th – 40th Annual No-Limit Hold’em – $40,000 buy in. ‘Nuff said
Sat, May 30th – No-Limit Hold’em – $1,000 buy in featuring CarbonPoker players froliche and sliekas. Do it up, guys!
Mon, June 1st – World Championship Seven Card Stud — $10,00 buy in
Sat, June 13th – World Championship Heads Up No-Limit Hold’em – $10,000 buy in. Lets see the big dogs battle it out to see who’s the best. It could get ugly.
Fri, June 26th – World Championship HORSE – $50,000 buy in. You know this event always gets crazy and it’s a blast to watch.
Thurs, July 2nd – Ante Up For Africa Charity Event – $5000 buy in. This is the kind of event you can really feel good about… You know, if you’ve got a soul.
Then of course we’ve got the $10,000 buy in World Championship No-Limit Texas Hold’em 13-day event. It stretches from July 3rd – July 15th. I think you might have heard of it. If not, are you sure you’re in the right place right now? Do you need someone to help you get home?
The final table takes place again from November 7th – 10th. Although the time is TBD, clear your schedule for those days. This is the can’t-miss event of the year.
Sure there are a ton of events, and it loses some of the mystique of the six-man, winner take all event of 1970…but, get with the future, man. You’ve got the internet on your cell phone; you can handle more poker as the WSOP.
