2011 World Series Of Poker Event 14

Limit hold 'em is the name of the game going into event 14 of the 2011 World Series of Poker. The 14th event may use the most popular format of poker, but it uses the less common betting structure of using limits. This should prove to be an exciting event solely because of the betting structure. We have found that this tournament does correlate to one from last year, though it was event 12 rather than event 14. There are a few differences amongst the two different tournaments.

Looking at the 14th event, players will have to buy into the event with $3,000 in cash. This 3 day event will kick off on June 8th, and it will be the second event of the day. Starting at 5 PM, this event will likely bring in several hundred players at the very least. Last year's correlating tournament attracted 625 players, albeit with a lower buy-in. Although the buy-in is slightly higher this year, it is likely to be a fairly significant bet regardless.
