2024 WSOP!
The World Series of Poker has wrapped up its newest winter series and is announcing new details for the 2024 summer event in Las Vegas.
“…..Ty Stewart, SVP and Executive Director of the World Series of Poker. “But it’s time to turn the page and begin the countdown to 2024. Records are made to be broken. We’re busy on improvements to make sure 2024 is both the biggest and best event in poker history. Mark your calendars and bank those vacation days. We’ll see you in Vegas.”
The 2024 WSOP will take place at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas from May 28 to July 17, 2024, with the Main Event running from July 3 to July 17. The Main Event – poker’s undisputed freezeout world championship – will have four starting days, beginning on Wednesday, July 3. Players may also register directly on Day 2 on July 7 and 8.
The full daily event schedule for the 55th annual WSOP will be announced in early 2024. Fan favorites, including the Mystery Millions, Millionaire Maker, and the Senior’s Championship, will return to the schedule in 2024. …..”
I asked for my vacation time in December.
I booked my Airbnb the day the schedule dropped in February.
I finished paying for my flight and my stay last month.
I’ve now reached the point where I’m counting down the number of days at work before my flight.
That number is currently 13, and I cannot POSSIBLY contain my enthusiasm!!
I'm less than 3 weeks away and I feel the same ha
Question for those that have played a satellite for the main. I see the schedule for the July 2-7 satalites with many different buy ins. Does anyone know the typical turn out numbers for those? Looking at the $580 or $1,100, but would like to play with a larger field. Also, is it better to just play one of the earlier satty’s like the $1,100 Millionaire Maker on June 30 if I’m looking for the largest turnout?
The Millionaire Maker is not a WSOPME satellite. But if you win a million+, you could probably afford the Main.
It’s also $1,500, not $1,100.

Same on all counts.
7 days…..

Sorry, meant the Mystery Million which is $1,100. The structure states for every $10,000 you get an entry OR casino chips. Seems to me you can use any satellite for any entry.

They will get bigger each day up until the main, with possibly smaller fields on the 4th. By the time the 6th rolls around, decent estimates would be 400 for the 10am, 1000 for the 1pm, and 600 for the 4pm.
I've never played a milestone satty before. What is the end game typically like? Are most or all of the seats won by reaching the milestone? Or is it more like a normal satty at the end where it's just the shorter stacks dueling it out for the remaining seats?
Say I was UTG, and won a pot that put me over the milestone. Paying the BB + ante the next hand would put me back under. Does play at the table stop until someone comes over and verifies my stack or would I be forced to post my BB + ante if someone was not immediately available?
Game freezes once you hit the milestone. You can't go over and not advance.
I've only played one, but felt like a lot of scared money and people looking to chop the remaining equity instead of playing for the milestone.
Do satties for the Main Event start multiple weeks before the tournament and run regularly?

I asked the floor about this...
Technically a player can go over the milestone and not advance.
Ex. Dealer pushes pot to player that takes them to 205k, player doesn't realize they have reached the milestone, continues to play, and drops below the milestone.
From floor *It is the players responsibility to alert the dealer and then subsequently floor*, then the players stack will be removed and be rewarded the payout.

I have only played a couple but was able to “milestone” on my first attempt. With it being 10 times the starting stack, it is pretty obvious when you are approaching it. I bet on my last hand knowing how many chips I needed to go over and then immediately said I’m out, and the floor came to verify.

Seems like you could go over and if you're not paying close attention to your chip stack not advance, right? I would assume it's on each player to tell the dealer they reached the milestone?
EDIT: I saw a few seconds after posting that this issue was already addressed!
I railed the final table of the 2K milestone, $230 BI and for every 10 players, there is a 2K payout.
There was ~50+ players, 5 payouts, and leftover to however many people are left (if they decide to chop), or they play it out until one of the remaining reaches milestone or knocks everyone out (technically you may be one of say three short stacks that can't reach milestone with the chips left in play).
I walked away before it was completely over, but seems that you "can" chop the money remaining evenly even if its lets say $5k remaining, or you can force to play it out.
I don't know if people are playing differently or not, but I would imagine, playing faster and aggressively is beneficial, because once multiple people reach the milestone and those chips are removed from play, mathematically it has to be harder to accumulate a higher % of a lower amount of chips, shrug.

They can do that?
It seems like a number of people will leave the tournament with more than 10x the starting stack. That means there will be less than 10x the starting stacks of all remaining chips. How do they resolve that? At some point there could be 3 players left and 250k total chips left. If they only pay 2 remaining players, they'll be ripping off the players. They'll be collecting, say, 100 entries but only paying out 9 seats instead of 10.

The prizepool is the same, they still award the same number of seats.
E.g. 3 players left. 2 seats left. One player gets knocked out. The remaining 2 players get seats.
These milestones have been a thing for 2 years now. As long as it's structured correctly for (x) chips milestones vs 1 in x buyin. It all works out.
And to whoever said its less cost to the casino, its probably a wash as you need more floors if its a bigger one since it's more labor intensive throughout. Maybe you break down a table 10mins early because you lost one extra player to a milestone but its a wash since there's more open seats.
Also 100 entries usually only results in 9 seats anyway because of the rake. (I know it was your example but the prizepool will always be the same, there's no ripping anyone off).
It def benefits players that can accumulate chips but all that means is the hourly goes up for those players as they dont just need to sit there till sub 10BB average.

I wondered this too.
It seems like people won't always leave the tourney with exactly 10X the starting stack. The last pot you win will likely push you over by some amount. If, say, the milestone is 200k, but each time someone gets there they are taking 210k or 220k chips out of the tourney, doesn't that end up reducing the number of seats they award?

Nah, they just charge more for the buy-in. That's how they do everything else. Like if the the seat value is 10k the buy-in might be 1050 or 1100 instead of the true value of 1000.

Not with the increased rake nowadays. Most rake is not even anymore.
E.g. the 1100s are 985+115.
100 entries results in 9 seats plus 8500 dollar for the 10th person. Which is close because the rake is relatively close. But not exact. It takes 102 entries to generate 10 seats.

No it does not.
There are some structure sheets that are not correct though.
The 580 main megas are 1 in 20 but only 10x milestone so there will be no seats left with players left in those ones because wsop didn't do those ones correctly and copy pasted 10x milestone.
Those should be 20x but wsop doing wsop things.
The milestone should always be more or the same as 1 in x. The wynn does it correctly to ensure it doesn't happen.

Let's say 200K is the milestone, and there is 1M chips in play, enough for 5 seats. As you state, each milestone winner will likely remove more than 200K in chips. If the first 4 seats are won by milestone winners, and they remove a total of 900K in chips, there is only 100K chips left in play. At that point, of the players left, the last one who wins all 100K of those chips will get a seat. If at any time the number of players left equals the number of seats still available, then everybody left gets a seat.

Is that information put on the tourney clock? Like number of seats left, number of chips left?
Any advice on what sim card/which telephone company - if any... -, a foreigner only staying 3 weeks at the WSOP/in the USA that is strictly seeking for roaming - nothing more 1GB daily, if that!!! - should get??? Ideally purchasing a sim card at the airport directly would be the best bet, of course, if not I am spending my first day in Vegas to get all my stuff setup regardless. Thx
