It may have come a little bit later than in previous years, but the wait for the 2016 World Series of Poker schedule is finally over -- and there's plenty to be excited about in this year's 69-event slate.
All of the big tent-pole events are back for the 2016 WSOP (running from June 1-July 18), save for one -- and more on that later. There are eight brand new events making their debut this summer, widening the spectrum of formats and buy-in levels, which range from $565 to $111,111.
“It’s hard to fathom that this event can continue to grow the way it has,” said WSOP executive director Ty Stewart.
