June 5, 2013

This year the 44th Annual WSOP unfolds at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from May 29 to July 15. It is open to poker players over 21 years old and involves satellite events or cash games, daily deepstack tournaments, and WSOP gold bracelet events. The prices range as low as $1/$2 in cash games and $75 in tournaments, which is affordable for any bankroll.
