The 2020 Unique Version of WSOP Main Event Scheduled for December

Just to put it out there, if you qualify to play any of the poker sites mentioned in the article, there is an opportunity to weekly freerolls for as little as $1 leading up to the event.

I am extremely disappointed in the WSOP's interpretation of a 2020 Main Event. Very poorly done. I won't watch or care. This is NOT a real world championship ... and it probably won't happen anyway, the Rio will (still) be closed come late December. See y'all next summer when we do it right!!!

There is a rule that requires a final table pre COVID test. If you test positive you are disqualified and receive a minimum final table payment. I retweeted this.

Interesting news thanks for sharing.

Glad to see them run the tournament for 2020.

That is incredible right?

Does that mean there won't be plexiglass separating players and dealer from each other?

I mean if it works at live poker right now - then why wouldn't plexiglass dividers work at the final table?

Anyone here going to be participating?

Not sure how this will go, or how much people will really care about this event this year. But lets see what the reception is.

Time will tell, for sure. With Covid-19 infection numbers rising all around the world, it's hard to imagine right now, isn't it?

With travel restrictions returning, I don't see them pulling this off.

Travel restrictions within the USA? I know the border is closed from Canada to the USA but doesn't stop us from boarding a plane to the USA.

It will be interesting to see if the increase in Covid-19 cases/deaths changes many minds.
