WSOP announce $10k Short-Deck; Dave Alfa wins WSOPC Main Event in Choctaw

The World Series of Poker drip feeds us a few more droplets of 50th Anniversary goodness after releasing details of the $10,000 Championship events, including a first for Short-Deck fans, and Dave Alfa wins the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event in Choctaw.

The game of Short-Deck has raced around the globe like a greyhound since the Triton Poker Series presented the game to the world during their 2018 event in Montenegro. Poker Central snapped it up, PokerStars launched an online version, and now the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will feed it a fake rabbit.

The news comes as the WSOP continues to unveil elements of the 50th Anniversary special in the summer, this time releasing details of the $10,000 Championship events.

There will be 20-events carrying a buy-in of $10k or higher with the four-day $10,000 Short-Deck No-Limit Hold’em Championship starting on Sunday, June 2. There is also a four-day $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em event to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Players begin with 300,000 chips, one-hour levels, with registration open until the start of Day 2. The whole thing begins May 31st.
