The WSOP 2014 begin today at the Rio

Today, it is that starts the 45th edition of the World Series of Poker at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In all, 65 tournaments will be played.

At noon today, time to Vegas, this is the traditional tournament of employees; a Hold'em Tournament ' no limit to $ 500.

The event #2 à 16: 00 pm will be a tournament of Mixed Max No - Limit Hold'em $ 25,000.

Interestingly for the 2014 edition, the proportion of Hold'em tournaments 'em decreased while "only" 39 of 65 tournaments to the program will be Hold' em. It will be interesting to see also if people respond well to the call. How the events of the last years in the poker world have affected the participation rate of the 45th edition? From here a few days, perhaps we can answer this question.

Among the other interesting statistics, it should be noted that this year marks a new record for what is in the number of tournaments for more than $ 10,000 (tournaments that could be called high roller): 16, if you count the Big One for One Drop.

During this edition, it will be obviously interesting to follow our québécois at the Main Event, but also the conduct of the Big One, not to mention the performance of Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey who are convinced this year to win a bracelet. On this subject, see the bet that they launched on Twitter lately.
