However, WSOP.com has other plans for the season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wsop-again-in-the-center-of-excitement\">WSOP Again in the Center of Excitement<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>World Series of Poker (WSOP)<\/strong> is throwing its second <strong>Coast to Coast Classic<\/strong> this Friday, August 3. The event has already committed over $1 million in guaranteed prize money spread across 36 events. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no small affair either, and you can expect the event to stretch all the way from <strong>August 3 through August 12<\/strong>, offering some high-paced action in the process. Hardly all, though, as the Coast to Coast will pull a magnet for the poker pros hungry for action from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igamingbusiness.com\/news\/us-poker-liquidity-market-launch-may-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the states of Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why? It\u2019s called shared liquidity and all states have been enjoying it immensely. As a result, <strong>interest in events such as the Coast to Coast<\/strong> has been waxing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-few-good-dollars\">A Few Good Dollars<\/h2>\n<p>But the Coast to Coast is more than it\u2019s touted to be. The Main Event will provide the significant $250,000 in guaranteed prize money, owing to over <strong>520 participants<\/strong>, all spoiling for poker action in the dead of the season. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/wsop-main-event-second-highest-attendance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WSOP<\/a> won\u2019t be dishing out bracelets, but whoever manages to distinguishes themselves on August 12 will walk away with the Champion\u2019s Belt and a pile of money. Apart from the main event, there will be other battles worth fighting.<\/p>\n<p>On August 5, we will witness the Sunday Special, which will come along with <strong>$100,000<\/strong> in guarantee prize money and a considerably lower buy-in at $320, allowing even more gamers to join. <\/p>\n<p>If you are aching for the good old-fashioned high roller action, rest assured that you have nothing to be worried about. A $1,000 high-roller pow-wow is slated to begin on August 7. Even though the guaranteed prize pool is lower at $85,000, the cumulative amounts are expected to be respectable. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"freerolls-by-the-handful\">Freerolls by the Handful<\/h2>\n<p>Just to build some excitement, as if we weren\u2019t hyped already, WSOP is also going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsop.com\/promotions\/classic-all-access\/nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dish out freerolls at the same time the Coast to Coast Classic II is taking place<\/a>. All members who register will obtain a $10 tournament ticket which will come along with seven Freeroll Tickets. <\/p>\n<p>These tickets may only be used at special earmarked event. The luckiest you are, the better your chances of obtaining a $320 tournament ticket are. Joining the heavy guns of poker in a light manner is certainly not a reliable way to guarantee yourself a shot at the big money, but it could be a fun opportunity to transform your brief holiday into a lucrative affair altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule for the freeroll events is generous. You will have a chance to obtain tickets and participate from August 3 through August 9, every evening at 9:15 PM. A shot at the pot is all you need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have all dreaded the inevitable.
