2007 World Series of PokerThe World Series of Poker (WSOP) has been exploding in recent years and the 2007 World Series of Poker is no exception. This year the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino has added 80 more tables to accommodate the expected 9,000 entries for the Main Event. The WSOP is a collection of poker tournaments (events) which consists of various poker games and buy-in amounts. The winner of each event is crowned with the title of World Champion, the coveted WSOP Gold Bracelet and of course the prize money. 9 more events were added in 2007 for a total of 55, which means nine additional gold bracelets will be awarded.The 2007 WSOP begins on June 1st and will end with the Main Event final table on July 17, 2007. Many requests were made by the players for more non no-limit poker events. The Rio accommodated them and added several of them. Some of the events on the 2007 schedule include: two new HORSE events, one with a $2,500 entry and one with a $5,000 entry, several 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball events with re-buys, $5,000 World Championship Mixed Hold'em (Limit/No Limit); $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better; $5,000 World Championship Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em and $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. The popular $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament also returns as a World Championship event. The tournament, which required three marathon sessions and finished at 9 a.m. last year, has been extended to five days this year.

I think there will be more non-poker events as well in the entertainment realm that will be of interest. There will be additional social things like parties that you'll see.

Everyone and their mother started playing in WSOP satellite tournaments from the comfort of their homes. In 2006, the WSOP set records with over 42,000 entrants in 46 events, including 8,773 in the Main Event. The prize pool for the 2006 WSOP exceeded $171 million with the Main Event prize pool surpassing $85 million. 36 year old Jamie Gold from Paramus, N.J. won the 2006 WSOP Championship Main Event title and $12 million!
