The $5K No Limit Hold\u2019em freezeout will be free-to-enter for all living former WSOP Main Event champions<\/a>. Any regular player who knocks out an ex-world champ will win automatic entry to the main event.<\/p>\n

Among the star-studded field will be reigning champion Daniel Weinman<\/a>. He bested a record 10,043 field<\/a> last year to take home $12.1 million, the largest Main Event first-prize payout in series history.<\/p>\n

The Main Event<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Organizers are hoping this year\u2019s Main Event will be bigger still. The game\u2019s most prestigious tournament will run from July 3 with four starting flights. Late registration will be available on July 7-8 through Level 7, or around 4:40 p.m. on Day 2 of each day.<\/p>\n

As it was last year, the Main Event final table will return to the Horseshoe Las Vegas, the namesake of its spiritual home, Binion\u2019s Horseshoe, on Fremont Street. The WSOP<\/a> was conceived at Binion\u2019s Horseshoe<\/a> (now Binion\u2019s Gambling Hall) by Benny Binion and his two sons, Jack and Ted, in 1970. The final was last held at Binion\u2019s back in 2004.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s final table will play out from July 16-17.<\/p>\n

‘Bomb Pot’<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Other notable events on this year\u2019s calendar include a first-of-its kind, Mixed No-Limit Hold’em\/ Pot-Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pot event on June 15, where juicy pots and crazy action will be guaranteed. The eight-handed, three-day event will have a $1,500 buy-in, with a starting stack of 25,000.<\/p>\n

In \u201cbomb pot\u201d events, every player at the table posts an ante to build the pot pre-flop. In a double-board format, the dealer deals two separate flops, turns, and rivers. Make the best hand on both boards to win the entire pot. If you win one board, but another player wins the other, you chop.<\/p>\n

\n

Meanwhile, lower stakes players can buy themselves an affordable piece of WSOP action via the PokerNews Deep Stack Championship. This $600 buy-in event will kick off on June 25.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And if you want to take an even cheaper route to WSOP glory, a host of online satellites will be available on GGPoker and WSOP.com, with buy-ins starting from just $1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be Las Vegas\u2019s original Main Event,\u201d said\u00a0Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP, in an official statement. \u201cRecords are made to be broken, so our motto this year is bigger and better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our best schedule ever and more than 100 additional poker tables, we look forward to welcoming legends, first-timers, and everyone in between. If you\u2019re a poker player, there is simply no experience on earth like the World Series of Poker,\u201d Stewart added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
