The WSOP also held another version of the World Series of Poker Online, which was first held in 2020, beginning on July 1. Each member of the Poker Hall of Fame was invited to play as a freeroll and had a bounty placed on them, with the buy-in for other players $1,979 in honor of the Hall of Fame opening in 1979. There was also a Poker Hall of Famers Bounty tournament. New events included a $1,000 Flip and Go No Limit Hold'em Tournament, where each player was automatically all-in on the first hand and the winners of the hand will proceed into the money and a traditional tournament structure. The $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event began on November 4, with the champion being determined on November 17.
Ī full schedule of 88 live events (plus 11 online events) was held after the 2020 WSOP was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It took place from September 30 – November 23 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the 52nd edition of the event.
