World Championship No-Limit Texas Hold’em (Event 54) is another event on the list. Thousands of players participate in it. This is the place to enjoy drama. But this year the event has become less attractive for tourists due to the fact that the final table action won’t begin until November.

The new event to take into consideration is World Championship Mixed Event (Event 8, June 4-6). The tournament consists of Triple Draw 2-7, Limit Hold’em, Omaha 8, Razz, Stud, Stud 8, No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. The game will change every eight hands changing fortunes.

World Championship Pot Limit Omaha (Event 50, June 29-July 1) will showcase the best Omaha players the game has to offer. Omaha, to be noticed, is getting more and more popular all over the world.

2-7 Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) (Event 40, June 22-24) is a unique game thanks to its triple draw lowball. Isn’t it fun to watch pros draw three times to try and get the worst hand possible?

World Championship Heads Up No-Limit Hold’em (Event 25, June 13-15) believed to be easy to follow and completely unpredictable.

Ladies No-Limit Hold’em World Championship (Event 15, June 8-10) is the event that is likely to bring the most fun.

Limit Hold’em Shootout (Event 53, July 1-2) is an event with much play to watch and strategy to talk about. There are three rounds in the tournament. At the beginning of every round, every player starts with the exact same number of chips. Having survived two rounds, you proceed to the third one which is the final table.
