The World Series of Poker confirmed dates for another 12 events for the 51st running of the world’s largest poker festival.
The dates for the series, which will run from May 27 through July 15, were released last week along with the dates for three of the biggest events on the schedule. The additional 12 events bring the number of confirmed events for the 2020 WSOP to 15.
“While we are still putting together the 2020 WSOP schedule in its entirety, we have cemented the key no-limit hold’em events that anchor it all,” said WSOP Vice President Jack Effel in a press release. “We hope this announcement right before the holidays can help you lock in travel plans so you can join us at the Rio in Las Vegas for the 51st running of the WSOP. We will continue to fill out the rest of the schedule and provide updates as we progress.”
The main event, Big 50 and the seniors event were confirmed to return in 2020 when the dates of the series were released. It will be joined by the Casino Employees, Ladies, Super Seniors, Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack, Double Stack, Tag Team, Colossus, Crazy Eights, Mini Main Event, Little One for One Drop and the Closer on the schedule.
Those events from 2019 all drew fields of at least a couple of thousand entries and the staff is expecting another strong turnout in 2020. At the 2019 WSOP, there were a combined 187,298 entries over all of the events, which generated $293,183,345 in prize pools. The average events in 2019 had a prize pool of $3.26 million.
