2012 WSOP Schedule Pre-Released
The WSOP is getting bigger and bigger each year and qualifiers to the various WSOP events seem to start earlier every year too. The fact that online qualifiers represent such a great setup for players as well as for the online poker rooms pushing them, has a lot to do with this phenomenon. Players get to take part in events in which they would never be able to participate otherwise. Online poker rooms draw droves of players to their tables to duke it out for the WSOP seats on offer.
Getting your hands on a WSOP schedule this early may not amount to much when it comes to on target, accurate information, but it’s quite a preview to what’s in store at this year’s Series indeed, and I don’t think there’s a single poker player out there who doesn’t like to take a peek at this schedule, even if it may and probably will go through some changes before it’s finalized.
What we can gleam off this pre-released schedule from the get go is that there will be lots of things to be excited about come this summer. All of the most exciting events will be back, including all the $10k World Championship events as well as the $50k Players’ Championship event. The Casino Employees event may not amount to much buy-in or hype-wise, but having been the Series opener over the last few years, it has become part of the face of the WSOP. It is indeed a great build-up to the actual start of the Series and we’re happy to report it will be back in its usual slot on the schedule again.
Quite probably the most interesting event that everyone is looking forward to is the Big One for One Drop event, which will be a WSOP first. Calling it the Big One may be an understatement in this case: this $1million buy-in event will indeed be the mother of all high rollers and quite possible a record-setting whooper of a poker tournament too, with a good dose of charity sprinkled on top of it.
