It's the day that poker players around the world have been waiting for.

After the pandemic forced the cancellation of the traditional WSOP festival in Las Vegas, the tournament series is coming roaring back later this year.

This year's World Series of Poker will be starting later than usual, though it will be a busy and full event.

By the time that the series gets underway in late September, there is an expectation that most countries will be allowing travel to the United States.

The 2021 World Series of Poker will be running from September 30th to November 23rd, and will feature a total of 88 gold bracelet events.

The $10,000 WSOP main event will have four starting flights, with the first getting underway on Thursday, November 4th. The main event will run until Wednesday, November 17th, which is when a winner will be crowned.

2. $25,000 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em event, which will be capped at 64 players and begin on October 5th.

3. Poker Hall of Fame Bounty. All of the living Poker Hall of Fame members will be freerolled into this event, and there will be a bounty on their heads that corresponds to the year that they were inducted into the PHOF. This event will take place on November 17th.
