Las Vegas -  With the 41st Annual World Series of poker fast approaching and it looks like it will be another wild ride.  The 2010 World Series of Poker is the 41st annual World Series of Poker (WSOP). It will be held at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will run from May 27 to July 17.

We will provide ongoing coverage off the 41st Annual World Series of Poker, with articles on the people and events that make the WSOP the richest and most competitive poker events. We have provided the Schedule of Events and a discussion on Key Rules and a complete Copy of the Rules to keep you up to date. A running tally of Event Winners and final tables will be updated weekly. The status of the 2010 Tournament of Champions will be updated as major changes occur.

The 2010 version of the World Series of Poker should be the biggest we have seen yet. With more and more online sites readmitting US players to their roles and offering WSOP Seats (Sites not in compliance with US laws cannot register their winners directly with the WSOP as they did in 2006 prior to the passing of UIGEA, but give the prize money to winners who can chose to attend.) as prizes, the Main Event could approach the record breaking numbers of 2006.

Stay tuned with Poker Insider Magazine on the best and the worst of this years Series.
