WSOP SET FOR BIG CHANGES

The World Series of Poker is set for a few big changes.

For starters the showpiece event of the famed festival will be played in July and not in June with only the final two days of play scheduled for its’ historic home of Binion's Horseshoe Casino. Up to then, it will take place at the Rio resort on the Strip.

Over 5000 players - double the 2004 entries - are expected to pay $10,000 to play in the  final No-Limit Texas Hold'em championship game.

However, the biggest addition to the WSOP is a preliminary Tournament Circuit starting with a tournament from January 7-18 at Harrah's Atlantic City, followed by February 20-March 1 at Harrah's Rincon near San Diego; March 12-22 at the Rio in Las Vegas; April 26-May 10 at Harveys Lake Tahoe; and May 21-30 at Harrah's New Orleans.

All five events will be broadcast on ESPN and Jack Binion will host some of the events.

Participants in the circuit events will earn points with the top 100 winning a free invitation to the 2005 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions.
