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. The WPT Championship will close the WPT Season VIII and will feature a $25,000 buy in. Satellites for the 2010 WPT Championship will run on April 15, 16, and 17 at Bellagio.
