The World Series of Poker has announced the dates for next summer’s festival which will run from May 30 to July 17 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The 48th Edition of the WSOP will concludes with the $10,000 Main Event starting July 8. The something-for-everyone schedule includes bracelet events, satellites, cash games and thrice-daily deep stack tournaments running for 49 consecutive days, with the WSOP Main Event reaching its final nine players on Monday, July 17, 2017.

Colossus III will be a $565 buy-in re-entry NL tournament featuring two start flights a day for three consecutive days (June 2-4). This event has drawn 43,987 entries during its first two iterations, easily the largest live tournaments ever and allowing all-comers to pony up the $565 entry and try and turn it into $1 million in a matter of days. Also back on the schedule next summer are the Millionaire Maker, Monster Stack, Little One for ONE DROP, Seniors Event and Ladies Championship.
