The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has announced their highly anticipated schedule for the 2024 season, set to take place in the iconic city of Las Vegas. With a slew of exciting events and milestones in store, poker enthusiasts from around the world are gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable series of tournaments.
The 2024 WSOP schedule will kick off with the traditional $500 Casino Employees Event, followed by the infamous $10,000 Main Event – the crown jewel of the series. Players will have the chance to compete in a variety of poker variations, including Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and Seven Card Stud, with buy-ins ranging from $365 to $100,000.
In addition to the main tournaments, the WSOP will feature a number of special events to commemorate the series’ milestones. The 2024 season marks the 55th anniversary of the WSOP, a monumental achievement for the longest-running and most prestigious poker tournament in the world. To celebrate this milestone, the WSOP has planned a series of special events and promotions throughout the season, including giveaways, tournaments, and exclusive merchandise.
Furthermore, the 2024 WSOP will also highlight the 20th anniversary of the infamous “Moneymaker Effect.” In 2003, Chris Moneymaker, an amateur player from Tennessee, won the WSOP Main Event after qualifying through an online satellite tournament. His unlikely victory sparked a poker boom and revolutionized the game, leading to a surge in popularity and a new generation of poker players. To honor this milestone, the WSOP will host a special event dedicated to Moneymaker’s legacy and impact on the poker world.
The WSOP has also announced that they will continue their partnership with the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, where the series has been held since 2005. The Rio will once again serve as the official host venue for the 2024 WSOP, providing players with world-class accommodations, amenities, and entertainment options in the heart of Las Vegas.
“We are thrilled to announce the schedule for the 2024 World Series of Poker,” said WSOP Director Gregory Chochon. “With a diverse range of events, milestone celebrations, and exciting promotions, we are confident that this year’s series will be our best yet. We look forward to welcoming players from around the world to Las Vegas for what promises to be an unforgettable experience.”
As the poker world gears up for the 2024 WSOP, players and fans alike are eagerly anticipating the start of the series and the chance to witness some of the greatest poker action in the world. With a mix of traditional tournaments, special events, and milestone celebrations, the 2024 WSOP promises to be a can’t-miss event for poker enthusiasts everywhere.
