The full event-by-event schedule is expected to be released sometime in the first quarter of <b>2020<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the WSOP has whet the appetite a bit of those already looking ahead. Here is what can be expected from the first three announced events:<\/p>\n<table class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-100\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Event<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Buy-in<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Re-entries<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-4\">Starting Flight Dates<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Big 50<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$500<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Once per starting flight<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">May 28, 29, 30, 31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Seniors Championship (age 50 and up)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$1,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Single<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">June 18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Main Event<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$10,000<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">None<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">July 1, 2, 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-100 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>The WSOP also announced a bit of its broadcast plans on Wednesday. The Main Event final will be table televised on <b>ESPN\/ESPN2<\/b> July 12-14.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to open our doors for the 2020 World Series of Poker,\u201d WSOP executive director <b>Ty Stewart<\/b> said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSummer can\u2019t come fast enough, and we look forward to welcoming poker players from all over the globe back to the Rio in Las Vegas to award gold bracelets and hundreds of millions of dollars.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Online pre-registration for events won\u2019t open until March or April, after all events are determined and approved by regulators.<\/p>\n<p>In September, <b>Caesars<\/b> announced it was selling the Rio. However,\u00a0 the company will operate the property at <b>$45 million<\/b> per year through <b>2021<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>This move is expected to keep the series at the <b>off-Strip property<\/b> until <b>2021<\/b> as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Big numbers at recent World Series events<\/h2>\n<p>More than <b>500 poker tables<\/b> will once again occupy almost <b>200,000 square feet<\/b> of ballroom space this summer. That space has become increasingly crowded in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s events featured <b>187,000 entrants<\/b> from <b>118 different countries<\/b>. A record <b>187,298<\/b> entries participated in 2019, creating a 50-year high of <b>$293 million<\/b> in prize money.<\/p>\n<p>Lower buy-in events like the Big 50 have helped propel some of those numbers. The series has implemented a two-tier approach in recent years. That include major \u201cchampionship\u201d events at <b>$10,000 and above<\/b> and also smaller buy-in events typically with larger fields.<\/p>\n<p>Buy-ins for tournaments at the Rio in 2020 are expected to start as low as <b>$75<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>More online action continues at WSOP.com<\/h2>\n<p>With a shared liquidity market in between <b>Nevada<\/b> and <b>New Jersey<\/b>, online poker will remain a major part of the 2020 events.<\/p>\n<p>The series offered its most online tournaments to date in 2019, with nine exclusive online events. That focus will continue in 2020 and may even include more.<\/p>\n<p>WSOP.com\u2019s real-money platform will be the exclusive online home to win seats into series events. Satellites have already begun and are expected to run regularly throughout the 2020 series.<\/p>\n<p><b>888Poker<\/b> remains WSOP.com\u2019s international online poker partner in most jurisdictions. 888 will also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/reviews\/888-poker\/\">offer satellite qualifiers<\/a> and other promotions to award series seats.<\/p>\n<h2>Main Event Day2 registration draws some criticism<\/h2>\n<p>The release of even a portion of the WSOP schedule wouldn\u2019t be complete without some controversy. The series began allowing <strong>Day 2 Main Event registration<\/strong> in 2018 and will again in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Registration for the Main Event remains open through Level 6, meaning all players participating must be in the field at the end of the first level on <strong>July 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Longtime series commentator <b>Norman Chad<\/b> noted on <b>Twitter<\/b> that he\u2019s not a fan of this change. He believes players should be in the tournament more for the long haul.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt corrupts the integrity of the competition,\u201d he noted. \u201cEveryone should start off on equal footing. Part of the challenge of the Main Event is having to navigate seven days of play to reach the final table.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou start on Day 2, just to reach Day 3, you spend half as much time on the felt.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Allowing Day 2 late registration for the World Series of Poker Main Event is an awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful decision by my friends at the WSOP.<\/p>\n<p>It just strikes me as awful.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Norman Chad (@NormanChad) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NormanChad\/status\/1204816568628084736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Others disagreed with his assessment.

The criticism falls in line with many players\u2019 feelings about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/re-entry-tournaments-stoke-debate-among-players\/\">growing number of re-entry tournaments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some players, including <b>Daniel Negreanu<\/b>, argue there have become too many re-entry events. Chad was averse to this registration change in poker\u2019s signature event.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHow come poker always rewrites the rules?\u201d he noted. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you register at the start of play, or you don\u2019t play? That\u2019s how the rest of competitions handle it other than, say, the presidential primaries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There should be plenty more discussion as there is every summer.
