The 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP), the 42nd Annual WSOP, taking place at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, starts in a few short hours. The first event, the $500 No Limit Hold’em tournament for Casino Employees starts at Noon Vegas time. This afternoon at 5PM Vegas time, WSOP Event #2, $25,000 Heads-Up Championship starts. The Heads-Up tournament is capped at 256 poker players and expected to be completed within 4 days.
Looks like there is a great event Thursday, June 2 at Noon:
REMATCH #1: 2003 WSOP Main Event: Chris Moneymaker vs. Sammy Farha – Best 2-out-of-3 format.
REMATCH #2: 1989 WSOP Main Event: Johnny Chan vs. Phil Hellmuth – One match.
REMATCH #3: Fan Choice – One match. Special episode will air on ESPN on July 26, 2011
Derrrr… I did a lousy job planning vacation time this year. Woulda like to have railed the heads-up and Thursday’s re-matches. Anyways, I see that the third re-match is by Fan Choice.. hummm… wonder where fans are voting…I’ll chase that down and report back.
Of course, all the poker action during the Summer leads up to Event #58, the Main Event, which starts July 7th and concludes with the November Nine; the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’Em Championship!
