The 2008 World Series of Poker* schedule is now available!

The Schedule for the 2008 World Series of Poker* Tournament has just been published, and for the first time in the history of the World's Biggest Poker Tournament the Vegas final leg will kick off and end with a $10,000 Championship event. No doubt included in the forthcoming highlights reel is the much anticipated re-inclusion of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E event, which unfortunately this year will not feature Chip Reese, who won the inaugural HORSE event two years ago. Chip passed away not long ago but his name will defnitely be remembered in the world of poker.
