WSOP Daily Deepstacks Events Move To Masquerade Village For 2020

Despite player speculation and concerns related to the Coranvirus’ impact on the 2020 World Series of Poker, the game’s largest and richest series is currently proceeding as planned. The WSOP sent out a press release on Wednesday, March 4 with information regarding the popular non-bracelet ‘Daily Deepstacks’ events that have been held throughout the series in recent years. The release also included details on satellites and cash games for 2020.

The ‘Daily Deepstack’ events are designed to last just one day, allowing poker players a chance to buy-in at an affordable price point and play at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino without being committed to multiple days of tournament action. The events have previously taken place in the Pavilion Ballroom, but will be relocated to Masquerade Village for the vast majority of the series. The new home will include a dedicated cage for registration.

These events will also see an increase in starting stack size across the board. There is also set to be a new mixed-game option for Daily Deepstacks players: the $250 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event that will run at 5:00 p.m. on Mondays from June 1 through July 13. The 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm, 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm Daily Deepstacks will run daily from May 26 to July 13, and with the new dedicated space in the Masquerade Village area, there are expected to be no interruptions to this schedule.

Satellites

Players looking to win their way into the gold bracelet events at a discount can try their hand in any of the vast array of satellite tournaments offered this summer. Single-table satellites will once again be available around the clock in the Pavillion Ballroom, with buy-ins as low as $75. The 10-handed tournaments will be available from Tuesday, May 26 through July 11.

There will also be multi-table ‘Mega Satellites’ available throughout the series. The press release explains how these tournaments work in the following manner:

“In the $1,100 buy-in satellite, for every $10,000 into the prize pool, one person is awarded $10,000 in tournament buy-in chips. So, for example, if this mega satellite attracted 100 entrants, it would award 10 prize packages, each valued at $10,000, paid in tournament buy-in chips. Any monies that don’t equal a $500 tournament buy-in chip, will be paid out to the next highest finisher in cash.”

Mega Satellite schedule:

• 9:00 am – $180 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em (10 entries = $1,500 tournament buy-in chips)
• 2:00 pm – $580 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em (10 entries = $5,000 tournament buy-in chips)
• 8:00 pm – $1,100 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em (10 entries = $10,000 tournament buy-in chips)
• Specialty Megas: The 2pm Mega Satellite plays as a $580 buy-in when there is a $5,000 gold bracelet event running the next day or no $10,000 event. If a $10,000 gold bracelet event is running the next day, the 2pm Mega Satellite plays as a $1,100 buy-in.
• 12 noon & 6:00 pm – Specialty mega-satellites for $25,000 and above gold bracelet events are also scheduled on days before these events are scheduled to run. Buy-ins range from $320 to $625, to $2,700 and $5,300 and run as step-satellites, with the $320 running at 12 noon awarding must-play seats into the 6pm $2,700 satellite. The $625 mega satellite at 12 noon awards must-play seats into the 6pm $5,300 buy-in mega satellite.
