The 2016 World Series of Poker, which is entering its 47th year, will run from May 31 to July 18, 2016 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
While the full schedule for the 50-day series hasn't been released – it's expected to come in either January or February – officials have revealed several details, including the first open event of the 2016 WSOP – Event #2: Colossus II!
The wildly popular tournament, which attracted a record 22,374 entrants last year and awarded winner Cord Garcia a $638,880 first-place prize, has been revamped to make it even bigger and better.
