After a two-year hiatus, PokerNews is once again partnering with the World Series of Poker as official live reporting partner – with the added bonus that PokerNews’s popular MyStack app will also be back in action.
The WSOP is poker’s longest running tournament in the world and this year’s event - the 48th edition – features a total of 74 bracelet events over 49 consecutive days, along with satellites, cash games and three-times-a-day deep stack tournaments. The action kicks off on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas – and PokerNews will be there every step of the way.
The WSOP Main Event will reach its final nine players – the November Nine – on Monday, July 17.
