The more-than-three-month wait is almost over as the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event will begin to play out inside The Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Oct. 30.
The plan is relatively straightforward: The nine players remaining will play down to four, return the next day to play down to two and a champion will be crowned Monday, Nov. 1. It'll all play out live on-delay on ESPN or ESPN 2.
How it will all go down is another story altogether.
