Poker liveL’annata pokeristica, non vi è alcun dubbio, è scandita dai grandi appuntamenti torneistici internazionali. E quale appuntamento risulta essere il più importante e atteso, se non quello delle World Series of Poker?
Dopo che nelle scorse settimane era arrivata qualche anticipazione, pochi minuti or sono lo staff WSOP ha pubblicato il calendario completo dei Campionati del Mondo del 2023, anche quest’anno in programma presso l’Horsehoe (l’ormai ex Bally’s) e il Paris di Las Vegas.
Preparate i passaporti: si gioca dal 30 maggio al 18 luglio.

Partenza col botto
Come da tradizione, l’Evento #1: $500 Casino Employees inaugura le WSOP, seguito da alcuni eventi particolarmente attesi: l’ Evento #2 sarà un $25,000 High Roller che promette scintille, mentre attenzione all’Evento #3: il Mystery Millions, con un formato che sta decisamente facendo breccia tra gli appassionati. L’evento numero 4, poi, è dedicato a soli vincitori del Main Event nel passato, prima di entrare nel vivo dei tornei con l’introduzione di numerose varianti nei giorni a seguire.
Gli eventi low-buy in
Spesso le World Series of Poker di Las Vegas hanno avuto il difetto di non essere accessibili per i non professionisti o i non milionari: da qualche anno, però, questo aspetto è stato decisamente migliorato, con l’introduzione di tornei a basso costo.
Anche nel 2023 vi saranno possibilità “economiche”, basti vedere gli eventi 11 ($600 No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack), 18 ( $300 Gladiators of Poker No-limit Hold’em , con addirittura 3 milioni in montepremi garantito), 46 ($500 Freezeout No-Limit Holdem), 56 ($500 SALUTE to Warriors) e 77 ( $777 Lucky 7’s No-Limit Hold’em con $777,777 garantiti al vincitore). Insomma, una chance c’è per tutti.
I nuovi eventi del 2023
Non mancano le novità. Due discipline vedranno i loro primi eventi “indipendenti”, con Badugi e Big O che avranno un torneo ad essi completamente dedicato, dopo aver fatto per anni parte dei tornei misti.
Un altro nuovo evento è il $1,500 Short Deck. Mentre un evento Short Deck con buy-in da $ 10.000 è stato introdotto per la prima volta nel 2019, questo è invece il primo torneo Short Deck con questo livello di buy-in alle WSOP a Las Vegas.
Altri due eventi di gioco misto tornano invece in programmazione: si rivede il $25,000 H.O.R.S.E dopo essere stato escluso per un paio d’anni, così come il $2,500 Mixed Omaha Hi-Lo/Stud Hi-Lo, tornato dopo una pausa durata tre edizioni.
Le date del Main Event WSOP
Ma, diciamocelo, il vero spettacolo è quello legato al Main Event: il torneo principale delle WSOP da 10.000$ di buy-in prende il via il 3 luglio, e per ora sono in programma quattro Day 1. L’incoronazione del vincitore è prevista il 17 luglio.
Ma ci sono ghiotte novità relative al Main Event, davvero importanti.
Buy-in pagato a vita!
Lo staff delle WSOP crede fortemente in questa edizione del Main Event. Se si dovessero superare gli 8.773 partecipanti, ovvero se si dovesse migliorare il record assoluto del 2006, verrà estratto tra tutti i partecipanti – udite udite – un ticket chiamato “Main Event for Life“, che consentirà al fortunato vincitore di partecipare gratuitamente ai prossimi 30 Main Event WSOP di Las Vegas.
I satelliti per le WSOP: si arriva anche dall’Europa!
E’ evidente che, come ogni edizione delle WSOP, decine e decine di tornei satellite si sprecheranno nei giorni antecedenti l’inizio dei tornei sia online che dal vivo presso l’Horseshoe. Tuttavia, quest’anno avranno una chance di partecipare via satellite al Main anche i giocatori lontani dagli Stati Uniti: nel weekend del 20-21 maggio, infatti, un Casino per continente ospiterà la “Main Event Mania“, ovvero una serie di tornei satellite che ricompenseranno i vincitori con ticket e volo verso il Main di Las Vegas.
I Casino che aderiscono all’iniziativa sono il King’s Resort (Repubblica Ceca), Club Pierre Charron Paris (Francia), Deerfoot Inn & Casino Calgary (Canada), Enjoy Punta del Este Resort and Casino (Uruguay), e il Casino Es Saadi Marrakech (Marocco).
In quello stesso weekend, in tutte le poker room di queste sale da gioco verranno disputati tornei che andranno da 140$ a 1.175$, e garantiranno ciascuno almeno un seat per il torneo più ambito dell’anno.
