Although there is a strong presence of international players at the 2021 WSOP, the travel restrictions affected many players from Europe, China, Canada, Brazil, and more. The U.S. government plans to end the travel restrictions starting Monday, November 8. To accommodate the new schedule, the day off that was originally scheduled for Monday, November 15, has been removed.
