The 2019 World Series of Poker was the 50th annual tournament, and took place from May 28 – July 16, 2019 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There were 90 bracelet events. To celebrate the 50th WSOP there was a $50,000 No Limit Hold'em event as well as the Big 50, a $500 buy-in No Limit Hold'em event with a guaranteed $5 million prize pool and $1 million for the winner. There was also a tournament open only to past WSOP bracelet winners. A short deck tournament was also held for the first time. All No Limit Hold'em events employed the Big Blind Ante format.

The $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event began on July 3 and concluded on July 16. The structure of the Main Event was changed, with players now receiving 60,000 chips at the start of the tournament, up from 50,000 in 2018.{{cite web|last=Cross|first=Valerie|title=2019 World Series of Poker Schedule Sneak Peek|url=https://www.pokernews.com/news/2018/12/2019-world-series-of-poker-schedule-sneak-peak-32972.htm|publisher=PokerNews|date=December 20, 2018|access-date=December 23, 2018}}

Robert Campbell won two bracelets to earn Player of the Year honors. Daniel Negreanu was originally believed to have won the award for the third time, but it was later found that he was erroneously credited with a cash in an event where he didn't finish in the money. When points for that event were taken away, Negreanu finished third behind Campbell and the 2018 winner, Shaun Deeb.{{cite web|last=Bradley|first=Lance|title=Negreanu Loses WSOP POY Title to Campbell After Data Error Discovered|url=https://www.pocketfives.com/articles/negreanu-loses-wsop-poy-title-to-campbell-after-data-error-discovered-627504/|publisher=PocketFives.com|date=November 8, 2019|access-date=November 8, 2019}}

Main Event

The $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event began on July 3 with the first of three starting flights. The final table of 9 was reached on July 12, with the finalists returning on July 14 before a winner was determined on July 16.

The Main Event attracted 8,569 players, the second-largest field in history after 2006.{{cite web | last=Benjamin | first=Cody | title=World Series of Poker 2019: Hossein Ensan claims $10 million prize with his first Main Event victory | website=CBSSports.com | date=2019-06-12 | url=https://www.cbssports.com/wsop/news/world-series-of-poker-2019-hossein-ensan-claims-10-million-prize-with-his-first-main-event-victory/ | access-date=2024-11-12}} The winner earned $10,000,000, with 1,286 players finishing in the money. There was a mixup at the money bubble, with Ryan Pochedly originally being credited with bursting the bubble. Several days later, however, it was determined that one elimination had not been taken into account, and Pochedly had actually finished in 1,286th place, therefore making the money.{{cite web|last=Cross|first=Valerie|title=Mystery of the 1,286th Finisher in the 2019 WSOP Main Event Solved|url=https://www.pokernews.com/news/2019/07/1286th-finisher-mystery-in-the-2019-wsop-main-event-34868.htm|publisher=PokerNews.com|date=July 15, 2019|access-date=July 17, 2019}}

Three past champions made the money, including Chris Moneymaker who cashed in the Main Event for the first time since winning in 2003.{{cite web | title=Chris Moneymaker's profile on The Hendon Mob | website=The Hendon Mob Poker Database | url=https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=18826 | access-date=2025-03-07}} Moneymaker, along with David Oppenheim, was announced as the newest inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame during the final table.{{cite web|last=Schult|first=Steve|title=David Oppenheim And Chris Moneymaker Inducted Into Poker Hall Of Fame|url=https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/24098-poker-pros-david-oppenheim-and-chris-moneymaker-inducted-into-the-poker-hall-of-fame|publisher=CardPlayer|date=July 15, 2019|access-date=July 17, 2019}}
