But one thing they will not do is cancel the 2021 WSOP.
They may adjust tournaments, they may set limits on the number of players that can take part, they may even set up a “special area” away from the tournament floor so that players may play the final tables of the preliminary events.
There is absolutely no way that the “powers that be” at the WSOP are going to cancel the 2021 event. Now, slightly two months out from the event, the specter of the virus is rising again and there are several ways it could affect the 2021 festivities.Ĭould the 2021 WSOP be canceled? Will they mandate vaccines? Masks? What are they going to do if someone comes up positive during the WSOP? Let’s take a look at these questions. Earlier this year Caesars Entertainment, WSOP officials and the poker world breathed a sigh of relief that the 2021 World Series of Poker survived the COVID-19 pandemic and was scheduled, albeit later than its usual May timeline.
