The WSOP has announced next year's (2010) WSOP schedule. There are several changes from previous years.
The biggest change may be the elimination of the $50K HORSE event. It will be replaced with a $50K 8-Game Mixed Event called: "The Player's Championship". This will be Event #2 - a 5-day event beginning on May 28. The game will consist of: Limit Hold'em, OH8, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud H/L, No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. The final table will be solely No-Limit Hold'em - and, likely, televised by ESPN. For HORSE purists there will be the usual $1,500 and $3K events along with a new $10K Championship event.
The "stimulus" $1000 tournament idea is back and expanded. Does that mean the economy is in even worse shape??? There will be 4 - $1000 bracelet events in 2010 (and the Ladies and Seniors tournies are also at that level). A little more opportunity for those of us who don't have the really big bucks to put down on a tournament.
One other tweak is the "big" NL Hold'em event. Last year they ran a $40K event for the 40th Anniversary of the WSOP and noted that it wouldn't be a recurring event. Well, Harrah's stuck to their word - 2010's WSOP Event #52 will be a $25K NL Hold'em (six handed) affair.
The full series of tournaments will consist of 57 events again (plus the Ante Up for Africa Charity event) and run from May 28 to July 17 (the final table - with that played out sometime in November). You can see the full schedule of events here.
