-a $25,000, 6-handed NLHE event has been added to the schedule (Event #52)

-a new $10,000 HORSE Championship has been added (Event #43)

There will also be a number of operational changes for 2010, including the introduction of more poker tables and the assignment of starting days for the main event after a certain date.

Pre-registration for the 2010 WSOP is now available through the Main Cage at the Rio or through WSOP.com.

Note: the first $1k buy-in event will take place on Saturday, May 29th (Event #3, No Limit Hold'em).
