WSOP 2017, addio ai November Nine. Il final table del Main Event si giocherà dal 20 al 22 luglio

Si cambia, adesso è ufficiale. Il management delle World Series of Poker ha annunciato che il Final Table del Main Event non si giocherà più a novembre, ma dal 20 al 22 luglio.

Addio ai mitici November Nine. Da quest’anno i 9 finalisti del Main Event delle World Series of Poker (WSOP) di Las Vegas si affronteranno dal 20 al 22 luglio con questa modalità: 20 luglio da nove a sei player, 21 luglio da 6 a 3 player, e 22 luglio fino alla proclamazione del nuovo campione del mondo. Il tutto in diretta TV su ESPN.

Una grandissima novità che manda in archivio il format dei November Nine, andato in scena dal 2008 fino al 2016. Cambia comunque poco e forse in meglio, visto che negli ultimi due anni la vecchia formula non funzionava più come prima. Adesso invece il Final Table del Main Event, in termini di ‘audience’, potrà contare sull’onda lunga di una manifestazione che potrebbe stabilire un nuovo record di presenze.

Sono infatti già tantissimi i giocatori arrivati nella splendida città di Las Vegas o che si apprestano ad ‘atterrare’ in vista dei primi eventi, in programma già a partire da mercoledì 31 maggio ($565 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold’em e $10.000 Tag Team No-Limit Hold’em Championship). Anche perché venerdì 2 giugno prenderà il via forse l’evento più seguito, il THE COLOSSUS III da 565 dollari di buy in e da ben 8 milioni di dollari di montepremi garantito (1 milione di dollari al fortunato vincitore).

Vi ricordiamo che il Main Event, che avrà un buy in da 10.000 dollari, aprire i battenti l’8 luglio con il primo dei 3 flight.
