This year, organizers have spiced things up with five brand-new events targeting both recreational players and high rollers:
-
#1 Mini Mystery Millions with a $550 buy-in: The series kicks off on May 26 with this new format, featuring half the buy-in of the classic Mystery Millions, yet promising a $1,000,000 prize pool. Expect massive participation that could break historical records.
-
#11 GGMillion$ High Roller with a $10,000 buy-in: Inspired by the popular online format from GGPoker, this tournament starts on May 31.
-
#16 US Circuit Championship with a $1,700 buy-in: An event for the “grinders” of the WSOP Circuit, giving them a shot at a gold bracelet instead of the traditional ring.
-
#53 Five Card Pot-Limit Omaha with a $1,500 buy-in: A response to the growing popularity of Omaha.
-
#91 “Pick Your PLO” with a $1,500 buy-in: A unique Dealer's Choice format focused exclusively on Omaha variations (PLO, PLO8, Five-Card PLO, and Big O).
Structural Changes
Apart from the new events, classics have been fine-tuned. The Heads-Up Championship (#7) expands from 64 to 128 players, allowing re-entry for first-flight eliminations for the first time. An intriguing change for the Monster Stack (#18) and Millionaire Maker (#50) tournaments is the introduction of re-entry after Day 2 eliminations into later starting flights.
The number of flights in popular tournaments has also increased to accommodate as many players as possible.
The poker action is further enlivened by Hustler Casino Live, which relocates its legendary Million Dollar Game with a $1,000,000 buy-in directly to Las Vegas on June 12. Additionally, a free daily livestream will be available from day one on the official WSOP YouTube channel.
For those for whom 100 bracelet events aren't enough, there’s a novelty called the Summer Circuit. It kicks off during the final days of the main series (July 14 – 25) offering an additional 18 ring events right at the Horseshoe.
