2008 WSOP SCHEDULE

The 2008 World Series of Poker is a little more than two months away. Have you figured out what events you’re going to play in this year?

Live action will start at the Rio in late May. The 2008 schedule has been tweaked once again. This year will have 55 events but there will be a total of eight $10,000 buy in world championship events, more that in previous years. Instead of starting the WSOP with the Casino Employees No Limit Hold’em event, that tournament will close out the 2008 WSOP. It begins on Monday, July 7, 2008 at noon.

Satellites begin at the Rio starting at 9am on Wednesday, May 28, 2008. The $50K HORSE event will begin on June 26th. The Main Event will have four flights of Day 1, with Flight 1A starting on July 3rd. The final table is scheduled for July 16th.

[Editor’s Note: All the WSOP Events are listed in our Vegas Poker Tournament Directory – human edited, updated weekly]
