Caesars Entertainment announced the official schedule for the 2016 World Series of Poker on February 23. This year players can participate in 69 bracelet events between May 31 – July 18 in the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.<\/p>\n
The 2016 WSOP offers eight new events to players:<\/p>\n
June 5<\/em><\/strong>: Event #4 $1000 Top Up Turbo No-Limit Hold’em (20 minute blind levels) After community feedback, the WSOP also implemented several important changes. From now on, tournaments will pay out the top 15% of players with the first cash being at least 1,5x of the original buy-in. With the change, several events could reach the paying spots on Day 1.<\/p>\n In the $10,000 buy-in events, starting stacks will increase to 50,000 and there is also a slight change in the blind structure. Sofar, the 100-200 level was followed by the 100-200-25 blind level, now there will only be a 100-200-25 level.<\/p>\n The $1 million buy-in Big One is missing from the schedule. The organizers said that the tournament will still be held, just not as a part of the summer Las Vegas lineup. They will give further details about the event soon.<\/p>\n The most anticipated tournaments of the WSOP are the $10,000 buy-in Championship events. This year there are 13 Championships in the schedule, for example 6-max NLHE, Pot Limit Omaha and Dealer’s Choice. The biggest buy-in event of the summer will be the $111,111 One Drop High Roller.<\/p>\n The $10,000 Main Event will kick off on July 9 and the summer phase will finish on July 18. The finalists will continue the tournament on October 30.<\/p>\n
