WSOP 2008 to break records
Almost $160m will be up for grabs when the 2008 WSOP kicks off next year at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The highlight of the gruelling 6 month tournament schedule will undoubtedly be “The Main Event” or to give it its full name, The $10,000 buy-in World Championship of No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em.
It won’t just be No Limit poker on show though. Seven-Card Stud, Limit Hold’Em, Omaha Hi-Low Split Eight or Better and Pot-Limit Omaha will all make an appearance as will a new Mixed Event. The Mixed Event will feature eight variations of poker: Limit and No-Limit Hold’Em; Omaha Hi-Low and Pot-Limit Omaha; Seven Card Stud; Razz; Seven Card Hi-Low Split; and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball and will also require players to stump up a $10,000 buy in.
Winners of all 55 events will be given a unique WSOP gold bracelet made exclusively by the luxury Swiss watchmaker CORUM.
