WSOP 2008

Já foi divulgado o Calendário Oficial das WSOP de 2008

A
Harra’s Entertainment acabou de divulgar o Calendário Oficial dos eventos da
39ª WSOP, que mais uma vez irão ser
realizadas no “Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino” em Las Vegas.

Os
55 eventos que que fazem parte do calendário das WSOP serão jogados entre os
dias 30 de Maio e 16 de Julho de 2008.

A
actividade nas mesas da WSOP de 2008 começará no dia 28 de Maio, dois dias
antes do primeiro torneio agendado, quando se iniciarem as mesas de cash-game e
os satélites de apuramento. Estão também planeados Mega-satélites para o
$50,000 H.O.R.S.E.

Jeffrey
Pollack, comissário das WSOP, disse o seguinte: “Apesar de mantermos os 55 eventos para o próximo ano, fizemos algumas
mudanças e implementamos umas novidades, que penso que serão do agrado dos
jogadores”

Quem
estiver interessado em participar na maior competição mundial de poker, os
pré-registos podem começar a ser feitos a partir de Fevereiro, quer no site
oficial das WSOP (www.worldseriesofpoker.com),
ou quer no próprio “Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino”.

A
maior mudança para o ano nas WSOP foi a criação de 8 eventos com buy-in de
$10,000, que irão atribuir os títulos de Campeão Mundial nas seguintes
variantes: Pot-Limit Hold’em, Seven-card
Stud, Heads-up No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Omaha Eight-or-better, Pot-Limit
Omaha, No-Limit Hold’em Main Event e um Evento Misto.

Este
evento misto, será jogado com 8 variações do poker (Limit e No-Limit Hold’em,
Omaha Eight-or-better e Pot-Limit Omaha, Seven-card Stud e Seven-card Stud
Eight-or-better, Razz e Deuce-Seven Triple Draw)

Outra
das novidades para o ano, serão os
torneios nocturnos, criados por forma a manter os jogadores ocupados. Estes
torneios não irão atribuir braceletes, e terão um buy-in de $340 – serão jogados
na variante de No-Limit Hold’em, e o seu início está previsto para o dia 29 de
Maio. Sempre que houverem mesas disponíveis na “Amazon Room”, os jogadores
poderão estar sempre a inscrever-se.

De
destacar ainda, a atribuição do nome de Chip Reese ao troféu do vencedor do
evento de $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. - Jeffrey Pollack: “Como forma de tributo a esse grande jogador, que encarnou aquilo que de
melhor tem o nosso jogo, o evento do próximo ano de $50,000 H.O.R.S.E., será
jogado em honra e memória do Chip. E o vencedor, irá receber juntamente com a
bracelete de Campeão do mundo, um troféu denominado David “Chip” Reese.”

Aqui
fica então o Calendário Oficial das WSOP de 2008:
