Endlich ist es soweit. Die wichtigste und größte Turnierserie der Welt steht in den Startlöchern. Heute startet die World Series of Poker 2013 in Las Vegas. 48 Tage voll WSOP Pokeraction in der Wüste Nevadas warten auf die Pokerbegeisterten aus der ganzen Welt. Darunter 62 Bracelet Events, der „Carneval of Poker“ für den kleineren Geldbeutel und zahlreiche Deepstack Events. Insgesamt wird es während der WSOP vom 29.Mai bis 15.Juli im Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino stolze 357 Turniere geben.
Los geht es heute traditionell mit dem Casino-Angestellten Turnier für alle Mitarbeiter bevor dann das $5.000 No Limit Hold’em 8-handed 4-Tages Event startet. Als erstes Highlight wartet dann am 1. Juni bereits ein ganz besonderes Event auf alle Spieler: Das $1.500 No Limit Hold’em „Millionaire Maker“ Turnier garantiert ein Preisgeld von einer Million Dollar für den Sieger und könnte dadurch einen enormen Spieleransturm auslösen und das Event möglicherweise zum Größten der diesjährigen WSOP machen.
Für Aufsehen wird sicherlich auch wieder das „One Drop“ Super Highroller Event sorgen. Dieses Jahr wird es mit einem Buy-in von $111.111 gespielt und startet am 26. Juni. Weitere Höhepunkte sind das prestigeträchtige $10.000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship, das Jan-Peter Jachtmann vergangenes Jahr, das $50.000 Players Championship Event sowie natürlich das $10.000 Main Event. Der Startschuss für den großen Abschluss der WSOP 2013 fällt am 6. Juli, denn dann startet das Main Event.
Neben den Bracelet Events mit hohen Buy-ins wird es bei der diesjährigen WSOP aber auch wieder Turniere für den kleineren Geldbeutel geben, denn der „Carnivale of Poker“ kehrt zum ersten Mal seit 2000 wieder zurück ins Rio. Die eigene Turnierserie bietet kleinere Buy-Ins in Höhe von $250 – $1.675 und diesem Jahr warten 21 Events auf die Spieler. Der Sieger eines Events erhält neben dem Preisgeld eine goldene und mit Diamanten bestückte Medaille. Des Weiteren dürfen sich die Top10 Spieler der Series auf $100.000 freuen. Das genaue Turnierprogramm für den „Carnivale of Poker“ findet ihr hier. weitere Informationen zur WSOP auf der Website.
