WSOP 2009 schedule announced...

[RioRodent]

Suprisingly [to me anyway], it seems the WSOP website is not the place to look for breaking news about the WSOP!!!

The 2009 schedule is available on the ESPN website - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/news/story?id=3860083

Can someone lend me $156,500?

You gonna pay your own flight and hotel bills?

Good point

Can someone lend me $156,500 and a plane ticket and hotel room?

Panic over then everyone.

Looks like once you"ve made it down to be one of the "November Nine", you have two days to get back to the UK to play in the APAT Scottish National in Edninburgh.

It"s good to know that the major powers in world poker are speaking to each other to ensure there are minimal tournament clashes.

Thanks for that Rio - been waiting for them to be announced to get my hotel and flights booked.  Unfortunately the Seniors event (which Richard and I will be doing) and the Razz event are on the same day....

Was hoping to enter the Razz... but will have to give it a miss.

And why the ladies event has to be sooooo early is beyond me...

Just need to win a satellite to get into the main event and then I"d be really happy lol

5 hrs (levels) is a long time to make 3k chips last - lev 5 is 25/150/300 - as I have found twice!! You might be able to play both!

apparently no rebuys this year, an effort to stop high rollers "buying" a bracelet

[KarmaDope]

No rebuys is a good thing IMO. Means all players start on a level setting if you get me.

Gonna try and satty in to ME somehow, either that or just give up for another year!

the queue for the shootout will be 3000 long think live clickfest.

[Swinebag]

Get to the cash desk early for this one. At least a week before!!

Thats great news.... I may consider playing now.... no way was I going to miss the Scottish National     (well that"s assuming I get a seat )

well, I need to make $4k before worrying about trivial things like getting a seat ... this one was only hold "em event that really appealed to me though, at a realistically attainable level for me buy in wise
