The 2024 World Series of Poker full schedule has now been released by the WSOP this February 2024.
The richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series - the World Series of Poker (WSOP) is back this year to bring an unforgettable live poker action for everyone!
2024 World Series of Poker
- May 28 to July 17, 2024
- Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
- Highlight: $10,000 WSOP Main Event
- Satellites for several events
The 55th annual WSOP returns to the Las Vegas Strip from May 28 to July 17, 2024 at the Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, offering nearly 700 tables, more variety, several new events, and of course, the highly coveted WSOP Main Event Bracelet.
This year, a record-breaking total of 99 bracelets - the most at a live WSOP in history - will be awarded across a span of eight weeks.
Also, there will be bracelets awarded on WSOP.com in the merged network of New Jersey and Nevada, as well as the segregated markets of Pennsylvania and Michigan; although their complete schedule has yet to be revealed.
The 2024 WSOP builds on the momentum of a successful 2023 tournament season that saw 250,397 players from 100+ countries compete and enjoy a share of the record-breaking total prize money of $425 million. This upcoming summer event shall feature the largest capacity in series history - 700 tables spread across more than 200,000 square feet of convention space, almost a dozen new events including the interesting Double Board Bomb Pot, and the introduction of "Landmark Mega Satellites" where players collect a set amount of chips to win entry into target events.
2024 WSOP Main Event
The highlight of the 2024 WSOP will be the $10,000 NLHE World Championship, best referred to as "The Main Event", which is scheduled July 3 to 17.
Last year's WSOP Main Event attracted a total of 10,043 entrants, the largest field in the history of live poker, in which Daniel Weinman was crowned as its champion. He took home $12.1 million, also a Main Event record. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Weinman became the first American to win the WSOP Main Event since 2018, taking home $12.1 million, the largest Main Event first-prize payout in series history.
The main attraction of the WSOP, the $10,000 buy-in Main Event, will play down to a final table of nine players on Sunday, July 14. The winner will then be crowned after a two-day final table action on July 16 and 17.
In an effort to make sure that this year's Main Event can once again break records, WSOP officials are doing what they can to achieve that, by offering numerous satellite options and also a great idea they came up with - the creation of unique and intriguing new 2024 WSOP events! Some of them are:
- Event #1: $5,000 Champions Reunion No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout
- Event #41: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot
- Event #65: $5,000 Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold'em
- Event #80: $800 Independence Day Celebration No-Limit Hold'em
- Event #89: $3,000 Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold'em
New WSOP Event #1
Daniel Weinman and many previous WSOP Main Event champions shall kick off the 2024 edition with a brand new event - the Champions Reunion No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout. Designated as Event #1 for this year's series, it features a $5,000 buy-in with an exciting twist - players who successfully knock out a former Main Event champion will receive an automatic entry into the 2024 WSOP Main Event as their bounty. All living Main Event champions will be given a free entry to play in the event.
