The World Series of Poker in 2020 is going to be a big one, with more online events mooted than ever before, and the usual hoopla surrounding a Main Event that might become the biggest one in history for the 50th anniversary.

Nothing is bigger than playing a High Roller at the WSOP, however, and this year’s raft of eye-watering big-money events would cost a massive $625,000 in buy-ins if you want to enter them all. Each event of the following costs a massive $25,000 and up, with the most expensive event being the $250,000-entry Super High Roller event that takes place on the 27th June.

With this year’s series running for seven weeks from May 26th to July 15th, the first High Roller event to take at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is the $25,000-entry no limit hold’em event which will take place from May 29th at 3pm local time.

The $10,000-entry Heads-Up Championship that many feared was out from the schedule is in fact right back into it, but just costs $25,000 to enter instead of the previous single stack of high society. The attendance for the Heads-Up Championships in recent years haven’t been the highest. If the organisers are hoping that more players will turn up with more money on the line, then it is a bigger risk for an even better reward. Should the $25,000-entry version be successful – it has a 64-player ‘cap’ – then the future of the Heads-Up Championship will be assured. Flop harder than the $10,000-entry version and it could be curtains for the – in our opinion at least – classic WSOP event.
