Fanfare please, it's time to start the 2019 World Series of Poker thread.
Although the full schedule won't be released for a few weeks yet, the WSOP have announced some of the highlights for the 50th WSOP which will run from 28th May to 16th July.
The opening weekend will start with a special event for the 50th Series, a $500 NLH event called the Big 50, where the first entry for each player will be totally rake-free. Subsequent re-entries, to the same or different flights, will be raked.
The Millionaire Maker will run from 7th June, the Monster Stack from 21st June and the Main Event from 3rd July.
I will try to post the full schedule as soon as I can after it is revealed.
(There is also to be a special "celebratory gala and awards evening" on Saturday 29th June).

You were quick off the mark there Barny, well done & thank you.
Thread bookmarked as usual.
The WSOP starts tomorrow (Wednesday), Event # 1 being, by tradition, the Casino Employees event.
As you know, Barny @FCHD, always brings us tremendous daily updates with plenty of added colour & facts.
I have not heard from Barny for some time, so I've written to him by e-Mail today.
Fingers crossed he is able to run his thread again, but if he can't, we'll have to try to come up with another way of doing it, though it'll struggle to be even half as good as Barny's annual updates.
Fingers crossed, hopefully I'll have an answer in the next 24 hours.
As Tikay has said, the 50th Annual WSOP starts today, in about an hour if my time-zone calculations are correct.

Way more bracelet events than in previous years, with a significant rise in Online events.
I'll try to keep you all updated as much as life permits, hope to see many other posters putting their tuppennce worth in as well, the more the merrier. And of course if you're going to the WSOP to play one or more events, let us know and I can look out for you in updates and chip counts.
BOOM. Barny is back.
"the 50th Annual WSOP starts today, in about an hour if my time-zone calculations are correct"
I'm getting to the age where I'm easily confused Barny, but I was pretty sure it is due to start at 11am (local) TOMORROW (Wednesday 29th) not today?
Worth reminding readers that Las Vegas is 8 hours BEHIND the UK.
So when events start at 11am in Vegas, it will be 7pm in the UK, etc etc.
I think poker central has a twitch channel which shows some as well. Not 100% sure on that one tho
Many thanks for taking the time to post this thread - it's always much appreciated.
Even if it is pompeynic went out of this event first.
Look forward to the updates.
Well we've come up trumps already, as the winner of the second hand related in the official WSOP updates goes by the name of Brian Booze.
This is a $500 event, but later tonight the first of the big boy tournaments starts, the $10K Super Turbo Bounty NLH competition, where I'll probably have a better grasp on a few of the players.
He's not off to a bad start either, he tweeted this photo about an hour ago. However, he Tweeted that this stack came to 62,300, which is clearly wrong. How many do you reckon it is? (The light blue chips are 500).
