2015 World Series of Poker

The 2015 World Series of Poker is the 46th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP). It will be held from May 27-July 14 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Paradise, Nevada. There will be 68 bracelet events, culminating in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event, which will begin on July 5. The November Nine concept will return for an eighth year. Instead of a $10 million guaranteed first prize for the Main Event, however, there will now be 1,000 guaranteed payouts.[1]

New tournament formats include the $565 Colossus No Limit Hold'em event, the lowest buy-in event at the WSOP in 35 years. The tournament will feature four starting flights with a re-entry option for each flight and a $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. The $1,000 WSOP.com No Limit Hold'em event will award the first WSOP bracelet in an online tournament, with the final two players playing at the Rio on July 3. A bounty tournament will also be featured, with a player earning $500 for each elimination. A Super Seniors event has also been added, open to players 65 or older. In addition to these new formats, the structure for lower buy-in events has also been altered and will now feature five times the buy-in for a starting stack.[2]
