We speak again to our friend Dan Pokerati Michalski about the WSOP and the recent developments with online poker as well as his conversation with Gary Johnson.
The official 2011 World Series of Poker schedule has just been released, and there are a few juicy tidbits to discuss. The opening event this year will be a $25,000 heads-up tournament with 256 maximum entries (fyi, if they get there, the prize pool would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 million). The $2,500 10-game event later in the WSOP will now include Badugi, and we’ll see the return of a half Omaha-8/half Stud-8 tournament for all those who missed it.
The biggest revelation may be the extended late registration times. Players will be able to late register for tournaments for up to four hours after the start of an event, and the big question at hand will have to be, “How will this affect playing in multiple events for bracelet bets?” Right?
