When will WSOP release the online schedule this Summer?

Same question for the Tournament of Champions....... why are they being slow with these dates? Weird

That's crazy - I couldn't imagine that sort of thing. I played the Collusus last year and was surprised at how well such a large field was ran.

Kind of difficult to imagine how certain issues would be dealt with if it affected one room - guessing clocks would be paused?

I played it . They extended the break durations in the Paris(?) room to let the Horseshoe players catch up. As I recall we got a Full 1 hour break about the 2nd or 3rd break. It was a bit of a PITA but nothing terrible and a solution that made sense. I can't remember for sure but it MIGHT have been the mini main.

I don't understand them jumping to another platform (except for lower fees) it's not like we'll be able to buy into WSOP events in the USA using crypto (which this platform purports).....WSOP in Paradise is genius for being able to use crypto in itself.

Why one of these platforms can't legally accept a stablecoin which others can convert their crypto into is beyond me

I guess usd is still the only useful utility of value in "the land of the free"........rolleyes

As promised, pic of the new Normandy ballroom setup for the Horseshoe WSOP circuit series. This is purported to be the new home of the daily deepstacks this summer.



Very simple to find. Go towards the Horseshoe poker room and veer off towards the escalators past Nosh. Go up one level and hang a right.

The room has a cage near the entrance, which you can barely see here. The floor space is greater than this picture suggests, but still smaller than the main Paris ballroom, the main Horseshoe tourney space, and the old Rio pavilion room. For old heads, I want to say it's bigger than the old Rio Miranda ballroom, but smaller than Brasilia or Amazon.

Should be a decent place to play, but won't provide the sensation of being on the heartbeat of the WSOP like the old pavilion room where you were in the center of the action.

There did not seem to be any cash tables running unless I missed them.

Thanks for sharing the pic! A little bummed it seems like it won’t be in the middle of the action but if it works better logistically, I’m all for it.

Not sure if I will play it now. Very inconvenient to fly to LA to play it right before the WSOP. Not sure the value is there when factoring in time/expenses.

I played a couple Circuit events there. The big benefit is availability and proximity of bathrooms.

Although it's hard to beat the Paris mega-bathroom.

Now we wait.
For BravoPokerLive WSOP registration to go live.
Last year it was April 13th so about two weeks away if they maintain a similar schedule.

I always just register live at the cage. Other than not wanting to carry a lot of cash, why do people tend to register so early with a fee?

Well maybe it is silly but I typically want to play the last flight and want to be assured that I get to sit down to play at the start and not risk waiting in a standby line. The other consideration, which might be nonsense, is that I figure that players who register early are typically eager amateurs rather than seasoned pro's and maybe that increases my chance of being seated at a table of amateurs rather than sharks. There is also the reluctance to be traveling with a ton of cash. I am wanting to see if that Payfiniti option reduces the cost of registering ahead of time.

To avoid 6 hours in line?

After the 5th hour, many would happily give a hundred bucks not to do that again.

In my experience, there's never a line if you register after 9-10 PM the night before your event.

Long waits happen when people are re-registering or when they show up right before an event starts.

Maybe try registering at a better time? If you’re standing in line six hours, you’re doing it wrong.

Or just enjoy the benefit of VIP lines with your Diamond status. That alone is worth its weight in gold.

Anyone seen the 2024 wire transfer instructions ?
