The 2017 WSOP schedule is officially live and it’s a doozy with 74 individual gold bracelet events including several new additions.
For the first time ever the World Series of Poker will offer The Giant, a $365 buy-in tournament that will run every Friday from June 9 to July 7.
Players will make it into the money every Friday but will eventually return on July 8 to compete for the really big money.
Meanwhile The Marathon will live up to its name with a healthy 26,200 starting stack, 100 minute levels and five days of action.
The 48th edition of the WSOP will run from May 30-July 17, 2017, at the Rio All-Suites Hotel in Las Vegas.
Three Online Events, $10k Tag Team Added
The WSOP has held gold bracelet events on its own Nevada-based online client before but this year there will be a record three events at $333, $1,000 and $3,333 buy-in levels.
Each online event will play to a winner in a single day forgoing any sort of live final table.
The popular $1,000 tag team tournament will return to the 2017 WSOP but it will also have a bigger $10,000 buy-in sibling on May 31.
Here’s a complete look at all eight brand new events on this years schedule:

Main Event Scheduled for July 8-17
The biggest event on the schedule — the venerable $10,000 buy-in WSOP Main Event — will take place July 8-17.
Update: The WSOP announced in May that it's getting rid of the usual three-month break for the November Nine and the final table for the 2017 Main Event will actually take place July 20-22.

For the second-straight year Caesars will accept credit card payments at the cage for buy-ins up to $10,000 (up $1,500 from last year).
For those looking for lower buy-in events the Daily DeepStacks will return with four separate events running each day.
“The focus of the schedule remains squarely on two core principles: the biggest prize pools possible and diversity in offerings to provide something for everyone,” said Jack Effel, the WSOP’s Tournament Director.
“The 48th running of the globe’s biggest poker series promises to deliver on these core principles and ensure another action-packed summer at the Rio.”
