The World Series of Poker have announced that after the Covid-19 ravaged year that forced the 2020 WSOP to be mainly an online series, plans have been made to bring back the WSOP in 2021 as mainly a series of live events, not in it's usual timeslot but from September 30 to November 23.

"LAS VEGAS (April 1, 2021) –The World Series of Poker (WSOP) today announced much-anticipated plans for 2021, including the return of the live, in-person World Series of Poker event and $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, best known as “The Main Event®”.
World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino
The world-famous tournament series, which experienced record-smashing participation in 2019 and adjusted to a hybrid format to accommodate 2020, will be back in-person at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino this fall pending applicable state and/or regulatory approvals. Cards will be in the air for a diverse calendar of events beginning Thursday, Sept. 30 with all play concluding on Tuesday, Nov. 23.
The 2021 opening weekend is expected to feature a special charity event to benefit frontline health workers, a $25,000 H.O.R.S.E. and a $5 million GTD No-Limit Hold’em event billed as “The Reunion.”
Further details and specifics on the complete schedule will be released this summer.
“The Main Event” is expected to begin Thursday, Nov. 4 and run through Wednesday, Nov. 17. Players will have their choice of four starting days on Thursday, Nov. 4; Friday, Nov. 5; Saturday, Nov. 6.; or Sunday, Nov. 7. Players participating on Thursday or Friday will have their Day 2 on Monday, Nov. 8 if they survive the first day with chips. Those selecting Saturday or Sunday for an opening flight will play their Day 2 on Tuesday, Nov. 9, with the fields combining on Wednesday, Nov. 10.
Specific COVID-19 safety protocols and other related 2021 tournament policies will be reviewed with gaming regulators in the lead-up to the event. The World Series of Poker will be compliant with all directives from the state of Nevada regarding social distancing and capacity limits on the tournament dates.
“This year, more than ever, we embrace our role at the WSOP to deliver memorable experiences and bring this community of poker lovers back together. In 2021, the theme is, get vaccinated and get back to Vegas,” said Ty Stewart, WSOP Executive Director."
There is also an Online series in the summer and a WSOP Europe in Rozvadov, Czech Republic starting a few days before the end of the Vegas WSOP and running until December 8.
The moving of the WSOP Main Event does mean one thing - the "November Nine" is back!
