The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has released its daily event schedule for 2021 as it makes a long-awaited return to Las Vegas following a 29-month hiatus. The event, hosted live at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, will run from September 30th — November 30th, 2021.
The event will, as always, include all popular variations of poker ranging in price from $400 right up to $250,000. The Main Event will have four starting flights starting from November 4th and will run through to the Main Event Final Table on November 16th and 17th.
Speaking of the WSOP’s return to live tournament poker, Ty Stewart, the WSOP’s Executive Director said:
“Make no mistake, the 2021 WSOP will be the real deal and we’re preparing for a full house. Throughout the storied history of the WSOP, this year will be particularly memorable and we’re preparing for a poker reunion all players can celebrate. We’re beyond thrilled to offer a complete schedule of can’t-miss events including all our flagships and the variety players deserve.”
WSOP Vice President and Tournament Director, Jack Effel added:
“We could not be more excited to welcome everyone back to Las Vegas and the Rio. The entire WSOP team is hard at work to ensure players have the absolute best experience possible.”
