WSOP 2009
The 2009 40th annual WSOP tour is rapidly approaching. Wednesday, May 27th marks the start of the first event of the season followed by four more events in May. In June there is a different event scheduled for everyday of the month. Most of the events are three days in length with a variety of styles of poker, such as Seven Card Stud, Omaha Hi-Low, Ladies No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Hold’em and many others.
On July 2nd there will be an Ante Up for Africa Charity event that should be very entertaining and bound to have a little more of a relaxed atmosphere because the game is for charity not a position at the final table. Starting on July 3rd the 12-day event of World Championship No-Limit Hold’em begins. By the last day of the tournament the players for the 2009 WSOP Final Table will be determined by rankings and highest chip counts.
