WSOP Date for the Diary

The world's biggest poker championships - dates announced for 2007

Gary Thompson, World Series of Poker (WSOP) director, said this week that the 2007 World Series of Poker (WSOP) will take place from June 1 through July 17 next year.
 
Thompson revealed that there are concerns about how the recently introduced Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) will affect online qualifiers for the 2007 WSOP, but said there are several sites already offering ways for online players to win a seat to the Main Event.
 
Players at 32Red Online Poker Room can qualify for various live poker tournaments in the United States including World Poker Tour events and the WSOP.
 
Thompson said that the registration policy for the WSOP wasn't changed by the enactment of the UIGEA.
 
"There has been no change in our registration policy," he said. "We continuously review our registration policy as part of our planning, and if any changes are made, we will make the appropriate announcements."
 
Commenting that the WSOP has set records in attendance and prizepools over the past two years, Thompson said: "We expect the 2007 WSOP to be the best ever."
