The World Series of Poker will start at the Rio on the Sunday BEFORE the convention. Harrah's announced their WSOP schedule today & it is below.

Note that the $1,500 buy in No Limit event (highlighted in red) is on Tuesday the 27th. So, whoever wins The Chip Board Road to the WSOP would be able to come out for the convention AND play in the WSOP event at the same time.

The $10K main event will last 14 days this year with 4 day 1's!

There will also be a day off in those 14 days! Andy - Las Vegas
