WSOP 2016 + Side Series Daily Schedule
If you like Poker, summer is definitely the right time to be in Las Vegas! Besides the avalanche of the 69 official WSOP events at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, there are numerous other tournament series and festivals to please everybody’s card appetite but not necessarily everyone’s bank account…
Even though, not really part of the WSOP, the Rio Daily Deepstacks will be on again from May 31st throughout the summer until July 18th giving everybody the opportunity to get a taste of Rio madness during the World Series of Poker. The $235 tourney starts at 2 pm, another $185 event kicks off at 5 pm, an additional event begins at 7 pm for a buy-in of $135 and a $365 Turbo ends the daily action starting at 9 pm. All events are No-Limit Hold’em games that are played in one single day with huge fields. No need to say these are not the deepest deep stack tournaments you are going to encounter in Las Vegas over the summer but the fields are known to be huge every year and the big prizes on top of the payout structures are a good compensation for the lack of stack depth towards the end of the game. Questions? Answers!
The biggest and probably most notorious tournament series except the World Series Of Poker, is the annual Deepstack Extravaganza at the Venitian. The tourney parade has already begun on May 16th and will go on until July 24th with buy-ins ranging from $200 to $5.000 and a total of guaranteed prize pools reaching a staggering $16M! Some of the biggest events of the series will see amazing prize pools build up like the $3.500 NLH, the $1.600 NLH, the $1.100 MSPT along with other $1.100 NLH events.

The Aria is of course also a great place to play cards throughout the year and this remains true during the WSOP madness. Known as one of the homes of the High Roller regs in Vegas, this luxurious and modern casino offers nothing less than the Super High Roller Bowl from May 29th to June 1st for those who have really deep pockets. The buy-in will be $300.000. Other highlights with almost ridiculous buy-ins in comparison, will be the $25k-events of the Aria High Roller Series on 10th, 17th, 25th of June, and on 7th and 13th of July. Don’t be disappointed though if you cannot afford a 300k or 25k-spew, the Aria Poker Series (5th & 6th of July) and the $240 to $375 dailies will be drawing the masses and there’s a bunch of special events scheduled like Omaha, Senior or Ladies tournaments during the summer. Another highlight at Aria will be the WPT500 from June 27th to July 6th with a million U.S. Dollars guaranteed in the prize pool for a buy-in of $565. All you need to know about the schedules is available HERE.
Also starting early and finishing late, the PHamous Poker Series, Goliath 2016 with a lot of cheap buy-ins of less than $500 and multiple Day 1s at Planet Hollywood from May 26th to July 10th. The biggest event of the series will be a $1.650 event with a promise of at least $2M in the prize pool! Follow THIS LINK for more info.
