The World Series of Poker has announced its schedule 2010, including changes to events and improvements to player experience. The schedule has been announced for the 41st World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2010 which is due to start on May 27th 2010.

A total of 57 highly coveted WSOP gold bracelets will be available for those who are willing to try their hand in some of the most high profile tournaments in the world.

The series kicks off with the most expensive buy-in event to ever open the season, the Players Championship. With a buy in of $50,000 (£30,867) the event is not for the feint hearted but the winner will take away the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, as well as a WSOP bracelet.

Jack Effel, WSOP tournament director, said: "Whatever your game and whatever your bankroll, the 2010 WSOP schedule offers something for everyone. We are planning for the largest WSOP ever and look forward to welcoming all players to the Rio in Las Vegas next summer."

It is expected that 20 per cent more tables will be available this series, on top of the record 295 that were used in 2009. Improvements will also be made to the food court and other aspects of the player experience.

Ladies and seniors will also get their own exclusive Hold 'em tournaments in June.
The winner of the 2009 main event was 21-year-old Joe Cada who took home a grand prize of $8,547,042.
