It’s been less than 200 days since the last bracelet was dished out at the 2021 World Series of Poker, but poker’s largest and most prestigious festival is back again this week, and in its traditional summer slot no less.
A lot has happened since the last time the WSOP was held in the height of the Las Vegas heat, but the biggest difference of all sees a historic change of venue as Bally’s and Paris get ready to host poker summer camp on the Strip for the very first time.
