At last, the day of the year poker fans around the world have been waiting for: the start of the World Series of Poker. Action begins at noon Friday with the $10,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Hold’em World Championship event, a tournament schedule to run for three days. The Rio will be jam-packed this weekend as the first $1,500 no-limit hold’em tournament begins Saturday. Typically the largest event next to the Main Event, this one will have two starting days. Of course, the big news this year is the restructuring of the Main Event. The event will begin July 3rd and play down the final table on July 14th. At that point, the tournament will be paused and will not be resumed until November 9, when the final nine will play down to the final two. The two remaining players will continue on November 10 and will likely play into the morning of November 11. The complete 2008 WSOP schedule is below.
