2023 WSOP Schedule

The dates for the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) have been in your diary since December, but now get ready to plan your entire summer with the release of the full WSOP schedule.

A total of 95 bracelets �� the most at a live WSOP in history �� will be awarded over the course of seven weeks at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas Hotels & Casinos. In addition, there will be 20 bracelets awarded on WSOP.com in the merged network of New Jersey and Nevada, while the segregated markets of Pennsylvania and Michigan will each award seven bracelets.

The action gets underway on May 30 and runs through until July 18, 2023, on the Las Vegas Strip at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas. Officials are doing what they can to ensure the $10,000 Main Event will be the biggest ever, including numerous satellite options, and if it is someone in the field will win a "Main Event for Life" drawing in which they will win a non-transferrable Main Event buy-in for the next 30 years!

Bigger and Better Across the Board

The 2023 WSOP builds on the momentum of a 2022 tournament that saw 197,626 entrants from more than 100 countries and a record-breaking $347.9 million total prize pool in its new home.

��With the momentum generated from the WSOP��s debut on the Las Vegas Strip last year, we expect a record-breaking WSOP and World Championship at Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas in 2023," said Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP. ��If the Main Event is on your bucket list, this is the year to get to Vegas.��

2023 WSOP Starts With a Bang

As is tradition, Event #1: $500 Casino Employees kicks off the action on the first day of the WSOP, with the new Event #2: $25,000 High Roller also getting underway, offering players their first taste of big buy-in action at the Series.

Also getting underway is the first of four flights in Event #3: Mystery Millions. Although bounties don't start until Day 2, it will be all about making it to that stage to be in with a chance of scooping the massive $1,000,000 mystery bounty.

One of the biggest changes to the 2023 WSOP schedule sees Event #4: Tournament of Champions move from being the last bracelet event, to one of the first. It now kicks off on the second day of action, Wednesday May 31.

The first week also sees plenty of mixed game action, with traditional early-WSOP events like the $1,500 and $10,000 Dealer's Choice tournaments taking place.

Plenty of other mixed game events on offer early, including Event #9: $1,500 Seven Card Stud and Event #6: $5000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em; Pot-Limit Omaha.

New Events for 2023 include Big O and Badugi

In December, the WSOP announced at least two new events would form part of the 2023 schedule �� Event #18: Gladiators of Poker and Event #81: Ultra Stack �� but it's now been confirmed that several other brand-new events for 2023.

Two disciplines receive their first-ever standalone events with Badugi and Big O making their standalone WSOP debuts. Both have been part of mixed events �� Mixed Big Bet and Mixed Omaha respectively �� but both will have $1,500 events for the first time as part of the 2023 schedule.

If you're not familiar with either variant �� don't worry! Big O is most succinctly defined as five-card Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, whereas Badugi is a lowball draw variant, where you must make the best four-card poker hand with no duplicates in rank or suit.

Another new event is Event #83: $1,500 Short Deck. While a $10,000 buy-in Short Deck event was first introduced in 2019, and a �2,500 buy-in event has been on the WSOP Europe schedule every year since 2019, this is the first Short Deck tournament at this buy-in level at the WSOP in Las Vegas.

Two other mixed-game events will return after periods off of the WSOP schedule. First introduced in 2019, Event #80: $25,000 H.O.R.S.E returns after a brief hiatus in 2021, while Event #87: $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo/Stud Hi-Lo is back having been in the schedule from 2011-2019.

2023 WSOP Main Event

Also confirmed is the full schedule for Event #76: 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event which gets underway on Monday, July 3, 2023.

The $10,000 buy-in showpiece of the WSOP will play down to a final table of nine players on Friday, July 14 before the traditional rest day on Saturday, July 15. The winner will then be crowned across two days of final table action on July 16 and 17.

Also, the WSOP hopes this year's Main Event is the biggest ever, and if it is, all entrants in the field will be placed into a drawing that awards a non-transferrable Main Event buy-in for the next 30 years. The "Main Event for Life" drawing will utilize each player��s Caesars Rewards number and would be held on Saturday, July 8.
