Pre-Registration Begins for 2009 WSOP

Poker players will be excited to learn that pre-registration has now begun for the 2009 World Series of Poker. Harrah’s Entertainment recently announced that players can now pre-register for the WSOP at the main cage of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino or online at www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

The 2009 WSOP will run from May 26th until July 15th at the Rio. This is the 40th edition of the WSOP and it will include fifty seven tournaments. Players will find events with buy-ins as low as $1,000 and as high as $50,000. $10,000 is the buy-in amount for the No-Limit Hold’em World Championship and the WSOP has decided to continue the break from July to November for the final nine players.

The November Nine will return on November 7th and play until the 10th when a champion is named. Harrah’s Entertainment is encouraging everyone to go ahead and pre-register as each event has a set number of players and entries are taken on a first come first serve basis.

WSOP Tournament Director, Jack Effel commented: “As now customary, no alternates will be seated at the 2009 World Series of Poker. We encourage players to pre-register early to guarantee their seats.”

Interested players will be able to pre-register two weeks prior to a particular event. For example: if the event you are interested in begins on May 26th then you will be able to pre-register until May 12th. Everyone that pre-registers must present a photo copy of their identification to officials at the Rio before their table and seat assignment will be released.
