Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. announced it is exchanging dates of two events scheduled for the 2008 World Series of Poker® (WSOP). Orginally set to start at Noon on Saturday, June 22, the $50,000 buy-in HORSE World Championship has been re-scheduled for a 5 PM start on Wednesday, June 25.
The $2,500 buy-in Triple Low Ball event, originally in the 5 PM June 25 time/date slot, has been moved to Noon on Saturday, June 22. The simple, short version of the change is just swapping the the two events on the schedules. ESPN said the schedule changes were necessary to provide expanded film coverage of the $50K HORSE event, considered by many to be the true (main event?) world poker championship contest. The trademarked WSOP Main Event remains unchanged with a $10,000 buy-in for the No-Limit Hold'em World Championship.
The 39th World Series of Poker will run from Friday, May 30th through Tuesday, July 15th, the final table of the Main Event. Buy-ins for the 55 events range from $1,000 to $50,000. Check out the revised official 2008 WSOP schedule of events. The ESPN Sports Network will begin televising coverage of the 2008 WSOP events in July.
