The 46th Annual World Series of Poker held at the Rio-All Suite Hotel & Casino would see an increase to 68 scheduled events and included the addition of several new events. The $565 COLOSSUS was the lowest buy-in event at the WSOP since 1980, while WSOP.com awarded the first WSOP bracelet in an online tournament. A second seniors event was added with the Super Seniors open to players 65-or-older. The November Nine concept returned for its eighth installment as just four countries were represented with the title returning to home soil. The $10 million first-place guarantee was removed in favor of 1,000 players guaranteed to finish in-the-money.
