WSOP 2011: An event not to be missed
WSOP that stands for World Series of Poker is a popular series of poker tournaments. It is held in Las Vegas every year, wherein the winner of each event gets a WSOP bracelet along with a monetary award, which is based on buy in amounts and number of the entrants.
Over the years, this tournament has managed to grow in terms of the number of contestants and the different casino games being played. The schedule for WSOP 2011 is now public. This year, the World Series of Poker has 58 events that will be played over 50 days period starting from May 31 and lasting till July 19.
On its schedule, WSOP 2011 has listed the regular $500 Casino Employees event as the initial event. However, the next event for that very day is a tournament that many individuals will likely watch. It is a heads-up contest ($25,000) with player limit of 256. In the history of WSOP, this one is a richest tournament. There are other additions as well to the WSOP events. A mixed game tournament ($2,500) features 10 games in a six-handed match up. Besides, there is one more six-handed match, which is the Pot Limit Omaha of $5,000. The $25,000 (6-handed) event is however not part of WSOP 2011.
