\"\"When the WSOP<\/strong> announced that only players who were fully vaccinated would be allowed to enter the tournament, it created a lot of unrest. To make things even more difficult, the WSOP announced that it was also mandatory to wear masks during the 2021 WSOP which runs from Sep 30 to Nov 23 at the Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

A lot of players started asking questions about why a face mask was required at the WSOP when the State of Nevada Emergency Directive 050<\/a> makes it clear that venues that have fully vaccinated patrons do not have to wear masks. <\/p>\n

The WSOP has now clarified that face masks will not be mandatory for poker players as long as they are seated at the poker table<\/strong>. However they will have to wear face masks whenever they are not at the table. <\/p>\n

Just to make sure that players are aware of the dos and don\u2019ts when it comes to wearing a mask, the WSOP has provided more information under its Frequently Asked Questions page. Players must put on their masks when they leave the table for a toilet break or take a break from poker and walk down the hallways of the Rio. <\/p>\n

The simple rule to follow here is that when you are seated at the table \u2013 no mask, no problem! However if you get up to move from one table to another table, make sure you wear your mask or you will be asked to do so!<\/p>\n
