Carnivale of Poker Returns at the 2013 WSOP
Earlier today, we mentioned the World Series of Poker's recent announced about the 2013-14 WSOP Circuit season. Now, we're here to tell you about another recent announcement made by the WSOP.
On its annual conference call, the WSOP announced the return of the Carnivale of Poker to the tables inside the Rio. Originally taking place from 1998-2000, the Carnivale of Poker was at one time the second largest poker event in the world.
The series is set to run alongside the 2013 WSOP and offer plenty of options on its schedule including events in hold'em, Omaha, H.O.R.S.E. and Chinese poker. To further juice up the events, a special point system will be in place that allows players to earn points as they go for seeding on an overall leader board. That overall leader board will see the top players net their share of an exclusive $100,000 prize pool.
The Carnivale of Poker events are a step up from the Rio Daily Deepstacks that will be running each day, taking place inside the massive Rio Pavilion and the Rio Convention Center every day at 3 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. from May 29 through July 12. Along with winning the cash in each event, winners of each event will receive a specially crafted gold and diamond medallion. It is now more than ever that there is really no reason whatsoever to miss out on the largest poker festival in the world this summer.
