Flooding Hits WSOP Venue; Events Cancelled and Relocated
The WSOP has been forced to cancel or relocate several side events and satellites after flooding shut down the Provence and Normandy ballrooms at Horseshoe Las Vegas.
The biggest casualty so far is the 4 p.m. $400 Daily Deepstack, which was officially cancelled after an announcement made by the WSOP on X. The flooding was seemingly caused by heavy rainfall that hit Las Vegas earlier this afternoon.
Official confirmation of the cancellation of the $400 Daily Deepstack from the WSOP:
Other affected events include the $240 satellite, the $250 Daily Deepstack, and the $250 Seniors Event. The WSOP's Kevin Mathers has helpfully provided a list of updated room changes on X:
- 9am $250 Seniors Deepstack moved to Paris Green
- 1pm $250 Daily Deepstack moved to Horseshoe Blue
- 10am $580 NL Landmark moved to Horsehoe Blue 472
- 1pm $1,100 NL Landmark moved to Horseshoe White
- $240 NL Landmark Satellite moved to Horseshoe Blue 461, 462, 463
