Poker News Daily reports that the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule was unveiled by Harrah’s on January 26th. Participants at the 2009 WSOP will be able to partake in a $40,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament, the second richest tournament on this year’s slate of events. A total of 57 bracelet events will make up the festivities, up two from 2008. One major change involved the elimination of all five rebuy tournaments that were held last year.

The 2009 WSOP lineup is the 40th anniversary and promises viewers who watch the action unfold on ESPN a much wider assortment of poker tournaments.

The final table of the Main Event will once again be scheduled for November beginning on November 7th for three days. The finale, featuring the November Nine may air on ESPN on Tuesday, November 10th after the event concludes from the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. No official television schedule has been announced.
