Info
About The WSOP (World Series Of Poker):
In 1970, Benny
Binion, the owner of Binion's Horseshoe
Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, gathered together
a group of highly skilled poker players
from around the United States. His plan
was to have them play each other in a public
setting in order to determine which of
them who the best poker player in the world
was. Benny Binion called his event the "World Series of Poker" and
it was held at his casino in Las Vegas. In
the end, celebrated poker legend Johnny Moss
was crowned the very first World Champion
of Poker. The WSOP has been held annually
at the Binions Horseshoe ever since, but
from 2005 and forward the WSOP will be played
at the Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the year 2000, when Chris Ferguson was
crowned as the WSOP champion, the number
of participants had grown to 519 and first
prize awarded him with $1,500,000. In 2004,
an unprecedented 2,576 players battled for
the coveted world champion title, which lured
the competitors with a first prize offer
of $5,000,000.
A few players have won more than one time
namely Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Stu Ungar
and Johny Moss. They are now considered greats
of the game.
In 2004 the WSOP franchise was bought by
Harrahs and will be managed by them in 2005,
instead of being held at the traditional
Binions the WSOP will be held at the Rio
suites and hotel in Las Vegas. Participant
number is expected to be in between 3000-6000
players. The main event will start on July
7th and the final table will be played on
July 15th. However, the two final days of
the event will be played at the traditional
Binions Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas.
For the first
time ever, the 2005 WSOP was held
at Harrah's Rio Suites, Las Vegas, and
the final 2 days of the Main event
concluded at in its traditional location,
The Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas.
The WSOP is
unequalled by any other poker event in
the world today, and it is considered by
all to be the ultimate achievement in any
poker players career, to gain that coveted
title of World Champion. In the year of 2004,
Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer beat the other 2,576
players to win the title and 5 million dollars
for his buy-in stake of $10,000, which in
fact he won via an online poker site, for
an original stake of $40. What an investment.
