2021 World Series of Poker daily event schedule finalized

The World Series of Poker – the richest, most prestigious and longest-running poker series – has finalized its daily event schedule for 2021. Doors for the event open on Thursday, 30 September at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas with non-stop action through the event's conclusion prior to the Thanksgiving holiday on Tuesday, 23 November. Online and in-person registration will open in August.

WSOP is roaring back in 2021 with the much-anticipated $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Championship, better known as the "Main Event", which in 2019 eclipsed 8,000 entrants for only the second time in history. The familiar 200,000 square foot Rio Convention Center will again set the scene with a wide variety of tournaments, which include all popular variations of poker ranging in price from $400 to $250,000.

This year, the Main Event will have four starting flights to choose from - Day 1A on Thursday, 4 November, Day 1B on Friday, 5 November, Day 1C on Saturday, 6 November and Day 1D on Sunday, 7 November. The iconic deep-stack tournament will continue play through the Main Event Final Table on Tuesday, 16 November and Wednesday, 17 November.

The annual poker extravaganza, which began in 1970, will see a new broadcast partner in CBS Sports offering increased coverage for the duration of the tournament. An unprecedented 18 different bracelet events will be televised with a minimum of 15 hours of coverage of the 2021 Main Event, produced exclusively by Poker Central.

"Make no mistake, the 2021 WSOP will be the real deal and we're preparing for a full house. Throughout the storied history of the WSOP, this year will be particularly memorable and we're preparing for a poker reunion all players can celebrate," said Ty Stewart, the WSOP's Executive Director residing over his 16th WSOP. "We're beyond thrilled to offer a complete schedule of can't-miss events including all our flagships and the variety players deserve."
