2009 WSOP saw a record 6000 participants in its $1,000 open event. This was the highest in the history of WSOP. This unprecedented success with two starting days encouraged Harrah’s to reconsider on the buy-in amounts in order to make it more affordable. According to Seth Palansky, the WSOP communications director Harrah’s is considering a proposal to make $1,000 the new lowest buy-in for open bracelet events. Presently it is $1,500. They are also considering the option of increasing the number of low buy-in games.
This 41st chapter of WSOP will be held in the hot and happening Rio Al Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jack Effel, who has been the Director for the event for the last five years, said that the event will be presenting great opportunities for every player irrespective of their game or their bankroll.
