WSOP 2009 Schedule

World Series of Poker 2009 Schedule

The World Series schedule for 2009 has been released....what's new for this year? Find out here

Book your flights now – the schedule for the 2009 WSOP has been released.

The series, now in its 40th year, will begin on May 27th and play through to July 15th – at which point the Main Event final table will again be suspended and re-commence on November 7th.

So what’s different this year? Well, it appears the powers that be have listened to Daniel Negreanu and others as there will be no re-buy events this year (and as he calls it, ‘buying’ your way to a bracelet). There will also be a $1,000 No Limit Hold’Em 4-day Event for those with smaller bankrolls who want to get a flavour of the Rio. For those with bigger wallets, a $40,000 NLH Special Event will be played to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the series (don’t worry – mega satellites WILL run for this in the 2 days before it begins).

All in all, there will be 57 gold bracelets up for grabs (up from 55 last year) and 39 events priced at or below $2,500 – many will see this as a smart move after organisers were accused of being too elitist towards the top pros in recent years.

Here is the full schedule in all its glory:
