In December last year, poker players and fans of the World Series of Poker received an early Christmas from the organizer. This pleasant surprise was in the form of an announcement of the key dates of for the 50th Annual World Series of Poker<\/a> tournament. The festival has been scheduled to take place in the summer from May 28 to July 16 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. It also marks a very huge milestone for the WSOP and therefore there are several special events that have been included just to commemorate the historic occasion.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most notable and the first celebratory event for the festival is the ‘Big 50’ which is a new addition that will be offering the players a $500 rake-free shot at a bracelet. It is, however, important to note that while the initial buy-in for the Big 50 is rake-free, the subsequent re-entries, including entries into future starting flights, will be subject to rake. If you are looking for some excitement, the tournament which will be taking place on the opening weekend will come with $5,000,000 guarantee as a well as a prize of over $1,000,000 for the winner. For this reason, the WSOP is anticipating that the Big 50 will be one of the biggest tournaments in the festival’s history.<\/strong><\/p>\n “We expect our opening weekend Big 50 event to be one of the largest in our history, and certainly one of the best value tournaments ever offered. This is part of our concerted plans to make the 2019 WSOP a better value all-around,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
