Posts on 2+2 earlier this morning mentioned a tentative 2010 WSOP schedule, but for those who take a look at it will note there\’s still some work to be done.
For example, the first event on the list is dated May 10th, but it\’s event #21 – $1,500 7 Card Stud. Also of note is that almost every tournament except the Main Event is a 2-day event. This doesn\’t make much sense since most tournaments have been three-day events in recent years. Another notable change is that the \”World Championship\” of HORSE now has a $10,000 buy-in. There is however a $50,000 \”Player\’s Championship\” on the schedule. So take the schedule with several grains of salt, and expect a corrected schedule in the very near future.
In related news, WSOP spokesman Seth Palansky talks with the Las Vegas Sun about what\’s expected for next year\’s WSOP. Among the newsworthy items, there will be no poker played on July 4, and expect more $1,000 buyin events (there\’s six on the unofficial schedule).
UPDATE: The schedule has been taken offline for now.
