Bellagio releases schedule for 2010 Five-Star World Poker Classic

The Bellagio Las Vegas has released the schedule for the 2010 Five-Star World Poker Classic running from on March 30th to April 24th, 2010. This year's tournament series will feature several changes, including an improved blind structure (100-200 in championship events and 50-100 in preliminary and daily events), larger starting chip stacks equivalent to four times the buy-in in all events, lower buy ins and six more preliminary events. Instead of 12 $2,500 buy-in events, this year tournament will offer 18 preliminary events featuring $1,000 buy-in with rebuys. Two of those events will be pot-limit Omaha, while the rest will be NL Texas Hold’em. The preliminaries will run from March 30th to April 22nd, 2010.

The 2010 Five-Star World Poker Classic will close with the World Poker Tour Championship event set to begin on April 18th and closing on April 24.
