http://bit.ly/LearnFreePoker - FREE $50 starting capital from world's largest Poker School, check it out! On Jan. 24, the World Series of Poker announced the biggest WSOP schedule since its inception with 58 events to take place from May 31 until July 19, 2011. The chance to win one of the coveted 58 bracelets up for grabs will bring players from around the world to Las Vegas and the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino for the largest poker festival of the year. "Something for everyone is the best way to describe the 2011 World Series of Poker schedule," said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel. "It's staggering to think that last year alone the WSOP hosted nine of the 17 largest tournaments in poker history. We had 44 events produce more than a $1 million prize pool, so we can't wait to get at it again and offer players at all levels the best poker action on the planet." The 42nd annual WSOP will kick off with its customary $500 Casino Employees event at noon on May 31, but all eyes will be focused on the second event of the day, the newly created $25,000 heads-up event. With a capacity of 256 players, this will be the most expensive heads-up event in WSOP history and will feature the elite of the game. Also new to the schedule this year is Event 29, the $2,500 10-game mix, six-handed event and the $5,000 pot-limit Omaha six-handed event. The most notable removal from the 2011 schedule is the $25,000 six-handed event, which was well-received with a solid turnout of 191 players in 2010. The $50,000 Poker Players' Championship will continue to be the most expensive and most prestigious event on the schedule and will take place just days before the main event.
