The long awaited schedule for wsop 2016 has finally been released! We can all start making plans now.

World Series of Poker 2016 Schedule Appears at Last


The popular Colossus returns for 5 days on June 2 with a $7 million dollar prize pool - and $1 million of that is guaranteed for 1st place. $565 entry

The Millionaire Maker start on June 10th for 5 days. $1500 entry

The Monster Stack will start on June 24th and run for 5 days. $1500 entry

There is a new event this year - Crazy Eights. The entry fee if $888 and it will have 4 flights and run for 4 days. $888,888 is guaranteed for 1st place. This is very likely to be the event we use for the CardsChat Team event this year. Details will be released within 2-3 weeks for that. :)

The Ladies event has moved to July 8th this year - which suits me just fine but some ladies may not be happy that it coincides with the main event.

Here is a link to the complete schedule and you can click on each event to get the structure:

Wow cant believe ME is so late this year. And if you are in the ladies, you're good to play ME, just register for flight C and you will be fine.

Colossus is a strange bird. I suggest when you plan it out you plan for 2 buy-ins, since about half the field will be doing this.

I'm thinking I will probably make 2 trips. one for Monster stack June 24-28 and a second trip for crazy $888s and possibly the ladies and/or main event depending on how well I do in my previous bullets. I would love to join the cardschat team once you finalize the details!

Upon more reflection I'm definitely making 2 trips, there are just too many juicy offerings on the schedule this year! The only question is which events am I focusing on? I'm excited to see more details about what the other casinos are offering for smaller events (phamous at planet hollywood, aria series, golden nugget series etc.) If the nugget is offering a big-o tourney I will try to adjust my schedule around that.

of course, they don't finalize THEIR schedules unitl WSOP publishes THEIR schedule so I will have to wait....

Yea I am waiting on that other stuff too.

We might add the tag team event in with the Crazy Eights for the CC team stuff. If so Donna and I will be looking for 2 more members to play with us if you are interested.

I'm thinking if I play that tag team event the main purpose of extending my trip would be to try and satellite into the ME. So, I'd like to see when the mega satellites are...it's a possibility. I would definitely be playing on a team with my coach/dad but we are only 2 of us.

You'll want to bookmark SpaceyFCB's annual spreadsheet that covers all of the other series (not much on it now but gets updates as they are announced)

I'll probably go. The "when" depends on a few TBD factors. I'd like to play the Colossus but I'd also like to play a few of the later events, so two trips is a possibility I suppose.

Does anyone know if Total Rewards Reward Credits can be used to cover hotel costs?

Yes they can be. My free rooms don't usually come from my reward credits though - most of the TR casinos will comp me on week nights anyway.

Go into your account and see what kind of offers you have for Vegas.

I don't have any offers I don't think. Cleveland is stingy with poker players lol. But I've racked up almost $1k in reward credits with more to come, so if they can be redeemed for hotel costs I'll be paying nothing.

EDIT: Are they used for hotel costs at face value (200RC/$1)?

I think they are rewarded differently in different casinos or cities. If I have 4500 RC it equals $45.00 in comps.

About that article on the team tournament...what if it was Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, AND Phil Galfond?! That'd be...QUAD PHILS!

Okay. If THAT joke doesn't make people on here hate me, NOTHING will.

Clever. Do you think they waste their time though in what is essentially a $250 tourney?
