The 2009 World Series Of Poker Just Started

The 2009 World Series of Poker just started with the $40,000 No-Limit Hold’em Event, at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Among the poker legends taking a shot at the first WSOP bracelet event of 2009 were Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, Chris Moneymaker, John Juanda, and 2008 WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate.

Phil Hellmuth’s entrance was typically late into the event, as he showed up well into the fourth level of play, nothing unusual about that.

Peter Eastgate had a bad start of WSOP 2009 when he was eliminated by Charles Lehr on day 1.
The complete 2009 schedule as announced will again include the much discussed delay for the Main Event final table, with 2009's eventual "November Nine" slated to return to the Rio on November 7th for the prestigious title.

The 2009 World Series of Poker features 57 bracelet events spread over seven weeks of action from late May to mid-July.

The 2008 WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate cashed more than $9million for his 1.st place finnish.

Good luck to all players in WSOP 2009.

The WSOP 2009 Schedule.

The schedule of WSOP 2009 is now ready, and this year is the 40th anniversary of the World Series Of Poker (WSOP).

Harrah's announced that the 2009 World Series of Poker will feature a record-setting 57 events and will run from May 26 to July 15.

The revamped schedule will feature many new events and include something for every poker player with the dream of winning a WSOP bracelet.

Due to the tough economic times this year is a little different, because there are no rebuy tournaments listed in the 2009 WSOP schedule.

Instead a "Stimulus Special" tournament will be held on the opening weekend for only a $1,000 buy-in. According to a release by Harrah's, "[The event] is anticipated to draw the largest-ever live tournament field outside the Main Event and offer a prize pool approaching $5,000,000."

After the success seen in the WSOP 2008, one major item will remain the same: the November Nine format. The final nine players remaining in the main event will once again go on a four-month hiatus before coming back to play out the action Nov. 7-10. After an amazing turnout to see Peter Eastgate win the 2008 championship, this year's finale will take place in front of a live audience and will receive special prime-time coverage on ESPN. The main event will feature four starting days, and it will take eight days of play to reach the final table.
