Towards the end of 2014, the organizers of the World Series of Poker announced the dates for the 2015 WSOP series. At the end of January it was announced that there would be no guaranteed $10 million to the winner in the main event, but instead the payout zone would expand. A couple of days ago, the long-awaited WSOP 2015 schedule was revealed.
Let's go over the most interesting new tournaments.
The main one by right is Event #5: $565 THE COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em $5M Gtd - a five-day tournament with four starting days and the lowest buy-in of $565 in the history of the WSOP series. Plus, the prize pool is guaranteed to be at least $5 million.
One of the bracelets will be drawn online - Event #64: $1'000 WSOP.com Online No-Limit Hold'em and participation in it will be available only to Americans, and even then not to everyone, but only to those in whose state online poker is allowed.
