WSOP Schedule Reveals 100 Live Bracelets and Six New Events

The world’s biggest tournament poker series is back, with the 56^th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) running from May 27 to July 16 this year.

The official schedule for poker’s biggest extravaganza was released by the WSOP today, and it features a total of 100 bracelet events, more than ever before in the history of the Series.

This is the first WSOP to run in Las Vegas since GGPoker acquired the WSOP brand last year in a $500 million deal, which made the online poker operator the owner of the prestigious tournament series.

Despite the change in ownership, the 2025 WSOP will be more similar to its previous versions than expected, with only six new events added to the schedule, and the vast majority of popular tournaments still in the mix.

Like last year, the festival will play out at Horseshoe and Paris, a pair of adjacent Caesars Entertainment properties in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, one of the most attractive locations in the poker world.

Let’s take a look at the full 2025 WSOP schedule, as well as a more detailed look at some of the new events and the key tournaments to look out for this summer.

GGPoker Adds Six Brand-New WSOP Events

The 2025 WSOP schedule was heavily anticipated, with most players and fans expecting the new owners to stir things up and come up with some fresh ideas for the Series.

To the disappointment of some, WSOP added only six new events to the schedule, including a $100k PLO High-Roller, the first ever TORSE bracelet event, and a PLO Double Board Bomb Pot event.

The high-stakes community will look forward to the introduction of two new PLO High Rollers to the schedule.

The $25k PLO/NLH Mix event will start on June 2, early in the Series, while the $100k PLO High Roller will start almost a full month later, on July 1.

Both events are expected to draw in some of the most elite players in the world, including PLO and high-stakes tournament specialists.

A $1,500 PLO Double Board Bomb Pot event will put the novel tournament format to the test, being the first Double Board Bomb Pot tournament to feature only PLO.

Another brand-new event at the 56^th WSOP will be the “Battle of the Ages” event. Featuring a $1,000 buyin, this tournament will feature two starting flights, one for players under 50 years of age, and one for those over.

The field will mix on Day 2, guaranteeing approximately one half of the field will be made up of young bucks and the other of experienced veterans of the game.

To the jubilation of many mixed game fans at the WSOP, the Series has decided to add a $3,000 TORSE event to the schedule as well.

This event will start on July 11 and will replace the game of Texas Hold’em with 2-7 Triple Draw, making it even more appealing to players who specialize in non-Hold’em events.

Finally, a $5,000 Super Turbo Bounty NLH event will run on July 8 as the last of the new events on the schedule. Last year, a $10k Super Turbo Bounty ran at the WSOP, along with a couple of lower stakes versions of the same event.

Chasing New Records at the Main Event

The 2024 WSOP Main Event broke attendance records when 10,112 players showed up to play the biggest freezeout tournament of the year.

Jonathan Tamayo took down the champion’s title and the glory that comes with it, although not without some controversy.

This time around, WSOP will once again be looking to shatter records and make history, but hopefully without the drama that surrounded the 2024 WSOP Main Event final table.

This year’s Main Event flights will run on June 2, 3, 4, and 5, with Day 2 action starting on July 6. The final table of the Main Event will play out on July 15 and 16, with plenty of action in-between.

The slowest structure tournament of the year is guaranteed to bring in thousands of players, including previous champions, poker veterans, and recreational players looking to make their poker dream into reality.

A Strong Online Presence Is Expected

Ever since GGPoker took over WSOP, we have been expecting the Series’ online presence to grow to new levels.

The online bracelet schedule has not yet been announced, so it remains to be seen how it will compare to last year’s, when a total of 30 online bracelets were handed out to players across Nevada, Michigan, and New Jersey, along with 7 more to those in Pennsylvania.

What we do know for sure is that players in both the US and the rest of the world will have plenty of opportunity to win their WSOP seats through online satellites at GGPoker and WSOP.com.

A greater number of players is expected to win their WSOP packages online than ever before, with GGPoker now acting as more than just the sponsor for the world’s biggest tournament poker spectacle.
