This year’s event is expected to draw a record breaking crowd including some of the biggest celebrities and poker players in the game.

In a statement, Ty Stewart, WSOP Executive Director said

If you’ve never thought about coming to Las Vegas for the WSOP, this is the year. Now more than ever, the WSOP has something for everyone and with this schedule we believe the value and the opportunity for player success exists in each and every event we are offering in 2015.

The World Series of Poker will also feature a number of popular events like Event #44 which is a $50,000 Poker Players Championship (June 21-25); Event #28 which is a $111,111 High Roller for One Drop (June 28-29) and Event #61 which is a $1,111 Little One for One Drop (June 30-July 3). The WSOP has also scheduled the following events to start on a Friday to ensure that it has maximum participation as it has proven to be a favourite for most players. These events include Event #16 which is the $1,500 “Millionaire Maker” (June 5-8) and Event #28 which is a $1,500 “Monster Stack” (June 12-16).

Two changes have been made to the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Championship main event. If a total of 5,000 players register then the top 1,000 players will be guaranteed to cash in. The second change is to provide the top 9 players at the final table a guaranteed $1,000,000 provided ‘the event reaches or exceeds the 2014 entry number” of 6,683 entrants’.
