At this moment i doubt they can schedule it. I believe it is too soon to give dates. Lets hope though that everything will go as we all wish as soon as possible. Then events like this can be organized in a flash. When the money flows, the pace is different

Now i'm curious how long it will take for athletes to make exercises and return to good form to start competitions again. This coronavirus ''turned the planet upside down'' and i'm sorry that people have been manipulated by a lie. Is not good.

we all knewt that this will happen and that they cant have wsop so early,even some members write in old threads that we will have wsop and that players can buy packages or play satellites!now we see that they moved on later months,but I am not sure that this will be also in this months!nobody know what will happen,nobody now when you will fly with airplanes,so maybe they just dont want to cancel everything and they will wait till last day to see what will happen in this year!

Oh CALICUL, you will keep lonely with these ideas. Donald Trump it already assumed that it is true and now it tries to blame someone: China, WHO, someone! So, only it is you who stay....and Bolsonaro! Be carefull, because I do not believe that it is an honor to be the only one that he says that the COVID19 is a lie! The only real matter about that is how many time is needed to make the vaccine! (but you don´t believe in vaccine!)

The vaccine for COVID 19 will be dangerous and it means worldwide genocide. You heard about the conspiracy theory that was real in the end? You know that some people have been called insane, when they told the truth? Wait and you'll see.

It was a matter of time for this to happen . Things were showing that there was no way for WSOP to run normally starting at the end of the May . All other major live tournaments were postponed , cancelled , or was decided them to be played online , which was a good decision for some series

Too much bitter for me...CALICUL, what do you think about the roundness of the Earth? Perhaps I found a real terraplanista (people who think that the Earth is flat) hahaha. You go against the science my friend, didn´t you listen about the people who die for don´t believe in the vaccine? In my country, the Estate can make it by the force. It seems like the Witnesses of Jehová, who prohibit the blood transfusions...crazy!

Let me tell you something that happened in Romania. The medical system has been threatened with orders from politicians to lie. People died of various chronic diseases or when an organ fails. The families saw that the cause of death was COVID and not the real causes. The New World Order wants to forcefully vaccinate us with poison and that's why i don't agree with you in this situation.

CALICUL, you are delusional, you have some ideas about public health that seem to be taken from the Necronomicon, a black magic treatise that is an urban legend. I think my friend, that there is no sense in trying to establish what the truth is, because you deal with assumptions that are outside the reality in which we live. Wish you be safe!

I have many things or ideas and i see the reality, that you do not see because maybe it can be censored in your country. I see something happening in space and there are many videos on the internet. This is the main reason why politicians has canceled all competitions.

Now it's postponed for Automn , then we will see if it will actually be played then , or if another postponement will take place . It all depends whether the restrictuons for free movement and gatherings for many people will be lifted or not , if the situation will get signofically better in the near future .

even if this virus stop in next months in usa,they will have nothing from it,if players from other countries cant fly to las vegas,so it will be postponed to next year if they cant have normal number of players!they cant expect that only americans come and to have big prize pool!it will be hard summer for every country!

Hahaha censored in Argentina and allowed in Romania? You are impossible CALICUL! Leave it, the iron curtain atrophy your gaze... I think that this tourney is a good candidate to start in the next summer of North Hemipherium. There is a bad administration of the national isolation in USA, and a big fight between the Governors and the President. I think that will be hard to fix it in Autum

Who knows , but things will go betetr for casinos , also all businesses Some organisations rushed to cancel or postpone for next year tournaments or sport events or cultural events .. Why this rush ....

I can't argue with you as long as you don't know what's been going on in the world for months. What i can tell you is that there are games on a global scale and because of that everything that happened for 2-3 months... I'm angry that i can't bet on football or to work.

nobody even know is better to be like most of countries and to close everything or to be like sweden and to let all people to do things as they normal do,not to close schools and so on!they think that is better to make immunity in whole nation,thats why they allow it! for me,maybe its better to have closed countries and that everything stop!ofcourse I miss sports,but better to be like that!in my country in 7 days,lot of thing will be open after 50 days!
