Is anyone aware of a WSOP Event coming to the IP Biloxi around late October / early November?

I've heard the rumour, but couldn't verify anything on the WSOP site.

Yes there will be a WSOP Satellite Event at the IP. In order for a NON-Harrahs property to host a wsop satellite event they must be approved in all operations, Coordinations, and Staffing. Ip has been given a yearly license to host a wsop event. I along with my staff(All employed by WSOP )will be directing the tournament. We will also be directing the Tunica, Rincon and St.Louis events.

The Property will add a $10,000 free-roll to any player that makes a final table. We will also be awarding all Day Events with a Gold Ring (Same Jeweler that makes the other wsop rings)and A beautiful Gold and Diamond Bracelet to the winner of the Championship Event.

The schedule is:
