Each May, the World Series of Poker sets up in Las Vegas at the Rio Resort for nonstop poker tournaments to crown the very best poker players in the world. The entire poker tournament culminates with the Main Event, a $10,000 buy-in tournament that ends with one person being handed the jewel-laden Main Event winner’s bracelet.
Official dates have been announced for the 50th Annual World Series of Poker tournament festival. The WSOP is set to return to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in 2019, despite recent speculation that poker’s biggest tournament series could soon be moving to the strip. The Series is set to run from May 28 – July 16 this year, and although the full schedule is still being finalized, the save-the-date announcement released by the WSOP on Thursday, Dec. 20 did include information of seven key events throughout the series that have been officially finalized.
The most noteworthy detail included in the release is a brand new event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the WSOP. The tournament, called the ‘Big 50’, is a $500 buy-in event with a $5,000,000 guaranteed prize pool and a $1 million guaranteed first-place prize. The event will run from May 30 – Jun. 2 and will be rake-free for each player’s initial entry, with all $500 going into the prize pool. All re-entries, including playing in another flight, will be pay standard rake. The tournament features four starting flights, Thursday, May 30 through Sunday, June 2. Players will start the event with 50,000 in chips, with 12 50-minute levels planned for the day 1 starting flights.
“We’re excited to commence our golden event,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. “We expect our opening weekend Big 50 event to be one of the largest in our history, and certainly one of the best value tournaments ever offered. This is part of our concerted plans to make the 2019 WSOP a better value all-around.”
Other finalized events included in the press release include the $1,500 “Millionaire Maker” event, the Seniors no-limit hold’em championship, the Monster Stack no-limit hold’em event, the Crazy Eights no-limit hold’em event and the $10,000 WSOP main event, which will feature three starting flights this year running Jul. 3-5.

Rio Details
All poker lovers know The Rio in Las Vegas as the new home of the World Series of Poker. The world’s most highly anticipated tournaments come to town every summer, with the complete media circus following the mega-stakes drama. By comparison, few Vegas outsiders are so knowledgeable about The Rio’s off-season spread of games.
Throughout the year, The Rio maintains its action on roughly 14 tables in its original poker room. The Amazon Room and other WSOP venues revert to their off-season functions. The spread of cash games at The Rio is commendable. Games run daily in the standard limit hold’em, no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha and split-pot game fare. Interesting additions to that list include badugi, 2-7 triple draw, A-5 triple draw and Chinese poker.
