2015 WSOP Schedule Announced!

Tags: 2015 WSOP.
Posted on 26 December 2014 by "T".

The organisers of the World Series of Poker have released the schedule for next year's serie of poker events. 2015 WSOP begins on May 27 and runs until 14 July. The Main Event will kick off on July 5 and the winner is guaranteed to take home $10,000,000 just like this year. Monster Stack and Millionaire Maker, two tournaments that attracted over 8,000 players each this summer, will also be back next year.

New for 2015 WSOP is, for example, a tournament called "The Colossus" with a $5 million guarantee. The tournament begins on May 29th and the buy-in will only be $565 - which makes it the lowest buy-in for an open event in 35 years of the WSOP.


Here are some other highlights of 2015 WSOP (text from WSOP's website)

Friday, June 19: Seniors Championship - Easily one of the most anticipated events each summer, this year will be no exception. In 2014, the event attracted 4,425 entries, creating a $3,892,500 prize pool. Dan Heimiller captured the gold bracelet and the $627,462 first place prize. In 2015, the Seniors Championship will begin at 10:00 AM on June 19, with a special addition. Players will begin play with 5,000 in starting chips - an increase of 66.6% over the previous starting stack. The $1,000 buy-in event will see players start with 100 big blinds, with Level 1 starting with no ante and blinds at 25/50. In addition to the Seniors Event, this year a Super Seniors $1,000 buy-in event is being added for players ages 65 and older. The Super Seniors event is expected to be in close proximity to the Seniors event.

Thursday, June 25: Ladies Championship - The Ladies event in 2015 moves to a Thursday start at 12 noon. The $10,000 buy-in (90% off for ladies) event will also get a big boost in starting chips, with players getting 5,000 chips and a 100-big blinds for Level 1. The move to Thursday is in response to feedback of participants looking to maintain the option to play one of the big open No-Limit Hold'em events that run on the coinciding weekend.

Sunday, June 28: ONE DROP High Roller - With the Big One for ONE DROP on its biannual leave, the ONE DROP High Roller returns with a $111,111 buy-in at 1:00 PM on Sunday, June 28. If 2013 is any indication, this event stands to be the largest field for a six-figure buy-in of any tournament in the world. ONE DROP founder Guy Laliberté is one of the first commitments to the tournament, which drew a staggering 166 unique players with Anthony Gregg winning $4,830,619 in 2013. This event will continue with its charitable component.

Tuesday, June 30: Little One for ONE DROP - The fourth biggest tournament of 2014 returns with some terrific enhancements for the 2015 version. The event will now feature a $1,000 buy-in, with players getting an increased starting stack of 5,000 in chips, an increase of 25 percent. But better yet, if players pay an additional $111, they will be able to double their starting stack to 10,000 in chips.

We call this add-on feature the "Donating for Double" with all $111 going directly to support our charity partner, the ONE DROP organization (www.ONEDROP.org). Players will be required to pay for their add-on at the time of registration if they elect that option. The event will feature two starting flights, Flight A at 10:00 AM on June 30 and Flight B at 4:00 PM the same day. This is also an unlimited re-entry event during the open registration period. Players may re-enter the same flight or the alternate flight as often as they wish. Same rules apply as original entry. $1,000 buy-in for 5,000 in chips, with 10,000 chips being the starting stack if a player adds-on the $111 "Donating for Double" feature.

I have zero intention playing in any of these tournaments, except if I am happen to be in the United States of Hamburgers & Soda Pop at the end of May next year (though I give less than one percent chance for this) I might be buy myself into 'The Colossus' cuz he was favourite X-Men when I was growing up.
Too bad what they did to him in the comic books and on the big screen, he didn't deserve any of that.
WSOP, like a cognac, right?

I am always looking forward to watching and reading about a lot of the poker events around the world and world series is of course one of my favorites. I look forward to seeing the up and comers and seeing who the flash in the pans were from last year. Well good luck to all of you fellow Mobsters out there in Mob-land.

WSOP series is the best of all organized worldwide, brings together the best poker players of that year and all seasons.
Undoubtedly it is the event that any poker player should miss and that should play even once in life.
Hopefully someday be sitting there enjoying this unforgettable moment.

"The Colossus" seems to be great news for everyone. With the lowest buy-in of the WSOP, i am sure this event will regist some of the biggest fields ever seen, unless it's limited to a lower number of entries. And the satellites for it will also be very crowded! Let's see if i will be able to come here and say "I'll see you there!", it would be my first time and it would be spectacular!

I will go for the Colossus! just holiday this year!
