There was 15 no limit events at the 2010 WSOP. Once the schedule is released for the 2011 WSOP, winners will be emailed and get to choose which $1500 event they want to play. Then we will pre-register each winner for the event that they choose. The WSOP usually runs from the end of May to the beginning of July.
