1/3 E06 WSOP 2010 Main Event Day 1Β World Series of Poker 2010

Published: 2010/09/13 by pokerproschannel2

The 2010 World Series of Poker is the 41st annual World Series of Poker (WSOP). It was held at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and ran from May 28 to July 17. There were be 57 bracelet events, culminating in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Championship that began on July 5. The November Nine concept returned for the third year, with the Main Event finalists returning on November 6. A notable change from 2009 was the revamping of the $50,000 buy-in tournament. From its inception in 2006 through 2009, it had been a H.O.R.S.E. event in which play rotated between Texas hold 'em, Omaha 8-or-better, Razz, stud, and stud 8-or-better, all played with a limit betting structure. In 2010, it became an "8-game" tournament, rotating between the five H.O.R.S.E. games followed by rounds of no-limit hold 'em, pot-limit Omaha (high only), and limit 2--7 triple draw. Once the final table was reached, play switched exclusively to no-limit hold 'em (as was the case in the 2006 H.O.R.S.E. event). The tournament, now known as The Poker Player's Championship,[1] has been moved to the second spot on the WSOP schedule, preceded only by the restricted Casino Employees No Limit Hold'em event. This means that the 2010 WSOP open events will start with The Poker Player's Championship and end with the No Limit Hold'em Championship Main Event!
