Would a ‘November Nine’ Return Be Good or Bad for the WSOP Main Event?
This summer, the 57th annual World Series of Poker is back, and with 100 WSOP bracelet events, it’ll be as big as ever before, as we reported this week.
The Main Event has been confirmed as beginning on July 2, but while we know when the World Championship will begin, we currently have no confirmation as to when it will end.
The current schedule runs up to July 13th, when the final table of nine players will be formed.
There is some discussion that the conclusion of the Main Event has been juggled just a few days to avoid attention being diverted to the FIFA World Cup, with semi-finals and the final in the days following that date.
