It has finally been revealed that the World Series of Poker<\/a>, which was due to take place in Las Vegas, has been postponed. The news will not come as a shock to most poker fans, as many believed that this was always going to be the case following the outbreak of the coronavirus<\/a>. It is worth mentioning that the WSOP has been postponed and not cancelled altogether, with organisers hopeful of pressing ahead with plans to hold the competition later in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been months of rumours speculating that the event\ncould be cancelled, but the announcement was made official by Caesars\nEntertainment on Wednesday. It would appear that the organisers had no other\nchoice, after Las Vegas has been forced to close down all its casino due to the\nvirus. There are still travel bans in place around the USA too, and it is\nunclear when this may be lifted. Organisers have admitted that they will try\nand stage the event later in the year when the virus has been contained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Date For WSOP Likely To Be Expected In The Next Few\nMonths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The organisers were quick to stress to players and fans that\nthe event itself was only delayed, and that they are targeting later in the\nyear to reschedule. Last year\u2019s event was one of the most successful in recent\nyears with over 180,000 players participating in 90 events in Vegas. The\nbiggest miss of all will be the $10,000-buy-in main event, which is the most\nprestigious event on the calendar for poker players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also announced by the organisers that the\ncompetitions that were due to take place over the summer will now be taking\nplace online. Furthermore, it was revealed that there would be more\ncompetitions taking place, and they can be found on WSOP.com. In total, there\nare around 40 competitions taking place over the spring, and they begin from\nthe 3rd<\/sup> May. Sunday is becoming the most popular day for gamblers with\nrecurring competitions with a $100,000 price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WSOP Summer Events Continue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fans will at least be safe in the knowledge that the summer\nevents will be taking place as planned; albeit online. The online bracelet\nevents will dominate the summer landscape for poker players, as there will be\nover 13 events taking place with buy-in prices ranging between $4000 and\n$10,000. There will be something for everybody to enjoy as WSOP. The decision\nregarding the WSOP event will likely be made in due course, with the organisers\nhaving to follow the guidance given to them by US president Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US have been one of the worst-hit countries for COVID-19, with nearly one million confirmed cases to this point<\/a>. They have also had just over 48,000 deaths from the deadly virus. The travel ban in place in the United States isn\u2019t likely to be lifted until the number of cases and deaths is drastically reduced. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has finally been revealed that the World Series of Poker, which was due to take place in Las Vegas, has been postponed.
