The World Series of Poker continues to refine the roster for the 50th-anniversary festival with the addition of 13-events, including a $1,000 buy-in Mini-Main Event preceding the more expensive and illustrious option.

The planning for the 50th anniversary of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) continues. Jack Effel has nipped the red carpet into the dry cleaners. Seth Palansky is busy blowing up 50 hot air balloon size balloons. Phil Hellmuth’s PR agency is figuring out an entrance that captivates our imagination like a total eclipse of the sun.

In December, we learned of the Big 50 – a $500 buy-in, 50,000 chips, 50-minute levels, $5m GTD prize pool, $1m GTD for the winner fanfare, and the return of the Millionaire Maker, Seniors, Monster Stack, Crazy Eights and the $10,000 Main Event.

It’s time for another update with 13 additional events added to the roster.
