SIDE ACTION DURING WORLD SERIES OF POKER

The World Series of Poker in Las Vegas encompasses a lot more than what you see on ESPN.

During the seven-week series each Summer at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, the Rio Convention Center is transformed into a poker player's dream, with non-stop action in every form and buy-in level imaginable.

In addition to 61 gold bracelet events being offered in 2012, the Rio will also host 24-hour cash games, single-table satellites, mega-satellites, and daily Deepstack tournaments, all which promise to be bigger and more robust than ever before.

There are a total of 478 poker tables in use during the WSOP Ð the most ever Ð and this will allow us to accommodate as many players for each event as the demand dictates.

If you are looking for a cash game, a satellite or Daily Deepstack tournament, you will want to head to the Pavilion Ballroom in the Rio Convention Center. The Pavilion is the largest poker room in use during the WSOP, and features 257 poker tables.

The Pavilion has its own cage and registration area, so if you are entering Daily Deepstacks, satellites or cash games, we encourage you to go straight to the Pavilion Room, register and begin play all in the same room. The only exception is if you do not have a Total Rewards Player Card. If you have yet to sign up for Total Rewards, you can enroll online or complete the task in the rotunda using your valid photo identification and then enter the Pavilion Room to start your play.

Daily Deepstacks

During the WSOP, three daily one-day Deepstack events are scheduled. They begin promptly at 2 PM, 6 PM and 10 PM, beginning May 27 and continuing through July 16.

All our Deepstack tournaments feature 30 minute levels and play continues until we have a winner.

Re-entry is allowed in these events through 4 levels of play. Players must be out of chips before they can re-enter, but they can re-enter as many times as they wish, prior to registration closing at the end of Level 4. (Approximately 2 hours, 20 minutes after event start time)

Tournaments Daily from May 27 to July 16, 2012
2:00 PM	$235 Buy-In	15,000 in starting chips
6:00 PM	$185 Buy-In	10,000 in starting chips
10:00 PM	$135 Buy-In	5,000 in starting chips
