2012 WSOP Schedule
Posted by: James Carter. - Wed, 2012-02-01 12:36
When it comes to the WSOP, it’s never too early to start thinking about the action. There are online poker rooms out there which already feature
2012 WSOP qualifiers, and although it may seem early to some we’ve managed to get our hands on a pre-release version of the schedule, which – albeit subject to change – will clue in the die-hard WSOP maniacs to what they should prepare for this year.
The first event of the 2012 Series is the $500 Casino Employees NL Holdem event, which kicks off on May 27 and wraps up on May 28.
A $1,500 NL Holdem event will be the first open event of the 2012 Series. It kicks off on May 28.
The third event is the $3k Heads-up NL Holdem/PLO event. As far as World Championship events are concerned, the first one kicks off on June 5. The event is the $10k Heads-up NL Holdem event, which features a maximum player cap of 512.
The second $10k World Championship event is the PL Holdem event, which kicks off on June 8. Also on June 8, there’s a $2.5k Seven Card Razz event, which is likely to feature a smaller starting field and thus increased individual odds for players.
The event of the true poker pros, the $10k HORSE championship event kicks off on June 16. The Pot Limit Omaha World Championship event is scheduled for June 21.
Another major landmark which draws droves of railbirds and which generates immense online interest is the $50k Players’ Championship event. This year, the event that used to be the largest buy-in WSOP event kicks off on June 24 and it’s expected to last all the way to June 28.
The Ladies $1k championship event is scheduled for July 1.
The biggest buy-in WSOP event is the $1 million Big One for One Drop event, which gets going on July 1.
The $10k
NL Holdem Main Event, also known as the Big Dance starts on July 16. When it’ll wrap up is not yet known.
