2008 WSOP Kicks Off

If you're a poker player aspiring to set your name in poker history, there's no better place to do it than the 2008 World Series of Poker. The month long series of tournaments kicks off today with a $10,000 Pot Limit Hold Em' Championship event.

The complete schedule can be found here, including the 2008 Main Event which will begin July 3rd and culminate in a delayed final table that will be played sometime in October.

Almost every single big name player will be in Vegas for the month of June not only for the chance at millions in tournament prizes but as well as the juicy cash games that the whole WSOP atmosphere generates.

CrookedStraight's own Killa Kev is making the trek out to Vegas in search of glory. Or just a story or two to blog about. So we wish him and everyone else the best of luck at the tables.

Oh yea, in case you didn't know, many online poker sites will also be holding a "mini wsop" with identical events only 1/100th of the actual WSOP entry fee. So regular $1,500 events will be $15. $10,000 Championship events will be $100 tournaments, as well as a H.O.R.S.E. $500 event mirroring the WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event.
