2008 WSOP Schedule
January 8th, 2008
Listed below is the complete 2008 WSOP schedule. Harrah’s has tried to address some of the sore spots from the 2007 WSOP, including doing away with the “poker tent” and allowing early pre-registration for many events from a variety of locations in Las Vegas.
The 2008 WSOP schedule includes 55 events, the same number as the 2007 WSOP. One of the more notable changes is the addition of more $10,000 buy-in events, as the 2008 WSOP will feature eight total events with a buy-in of $10,000 or more.
The $50,000 HORSE event will return for its third year, and it’s increasingly being viewed by pros and fans alike as the true “world championship” event, as its a much more accurate test of true poker skill than the Main Event, which draws a massive field that dilutes the advantage that skilled players have.
The 2008 WSOP schedule once again features 4 starting days for the Main Event, which can be chosen by the players as long as space is still remaining.
