Harrah's Entertainment has said that the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSoP) will for the first time ever start and end with a total of eight $10,000 buy-in championship events.

The 55-event schedule of the richest poker tournament in the world includes eight $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournaments.

WSoP organisers have also added a second start day for the first of the $1,500 no-limit competitions to accommodate a high number of entrants.

"This is our most exciting schedule yet," said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the WSoP.

"Both amateur and professional poker players will have new opportunities to compete for a WSoP bracelet and can choose from the widest variety of games and buy-ins ever offered."

WSoP 2008 will be presented by Milwaukee's Best Light and televised exclusively on ESPN.

The WSoP has been established for more than three decades, taking place every year in Las Vegas.
