The 2024 World Series of Poker is right around the corner, as the 55th edition of the long-running poker series will commence in Las Vegas on May 28 and run through July 17.
On Wednesday, the event organizers announced a series of new games that attendees can check out and potentially get in on once the latest World Series of Poker gets underway later this year.
Let’s run through 15 of these new events, a handful of which come with detailed descriptions from the World Series of Poker to give fans an idea of what to expect once the poker players hit the tables this summer.
Per the WSOP:
Serving as Event #1 on this year’s schedule, the contest features a $5,000 buy-in and an exciting twist, allowing players who knock out a former Main Event champion to receive an automatic entry into the 2024 WSOP Main Event as a bounty. All living Main Event champions will be given a free entry to play in the event.
“Players ages 50 and up can participate in an exclusive new high roller event with the Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament. Featuring a $5,000 buy-in and 50,000 starting stack, the three-day event begins on Wednesday, June 26,” the organization shared.”
