World Series of Poker The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a series of poker tournaments[1] held annually in Las Vegas and, since 2005, sponsored by Caesars Entertainment (known as Harrah's Entertainment until 2010). It dates its origins to 1970, when Benny Binion invited seven of the best-known poker players to the Horseshoe Casino for a single tournament, with a set start and stop time, and a winner determined by secret ballot.[2] The winner of each event receives a World Series of Poker bracelet and a monetary prize based on the number of entrants and buy-in amounts. Over the years, the tournament has grown in both the number of events and in the number of participants. As of 2012, the WSOP consists of 61 events, with most major poker variants featured. Format[edit] Since 1971, all WSOP events have been tournaments with cash prizes. The tournament grew slowly for over a decade, reaching 52 participants in 1982. Highlights[edit] The number of participants in the WSOP grew every year from 2000 until 2006.

The WSOP has been the world’s most iconic poker festival for over four decades. The first WSOP took place in 1970 at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, and it was an invitational where Benny Binion invited six of the best known poker players to compete. However, the winner of the first WSOP was not the one to win the tournament, but rather the player voted as the best by his peers. The early years of the WSOP were nothing like the current two-month event that takes place in Las Vegas every summer. In 2003, the first online qualifier to win the WSOP Main Event emerged. Today, the WSOP is the largest and the most popular poker event in the world.

At World Series of Poker, is deck stacked against women? LAS VEGAS - For the first five hours of the second round of the World Series of Poker main event Sunday, Barbara Enright - the only woman to ever reach the final table of the famous No Limit Texas Hold 'em championship - played exactly four hands. Considering Enright's typically aggressive style, this was the poker equivalent of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning throwing four passes in the first half of a football game. Never looking at anything better than a pair of eights as her hole cards, Enright saw her stack of chips dwindle to $2,500. But when play was halted for the day, at midnight, Enright had painstakingly built that modest stake to more than $44,000. Along the way, she outlasted nearly 5,000 competitors, including top pros Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu, and was within striking distance of making it to the prize money. The WSOP main event, which began Thursday with 5,619 players, is expected to end Saturday.

El jugador de Bilbao, de 22 años, ya tiene asegurado un premio de 730.000 dólares (casi 600.000 euros), pero ahora lo que busca es la gloria del brazalete. En nuestro país, solo Carlos Mortensen, en 2001, fue capaz de ganar el Main Event en una época en la que el premio gordo era de millón y medio. Ahora «basta» ser sexto para superar esa cifra. Andoni Larrabe, en acción Larrabe es el primer November Nine español, ya que cuando Mortensen ganó el torneo principal aún no se hacía este parón de cuatro meses, en los que el ha podido estudiar el juego de sus rivales. Estos son los November Nine y nuevos millonarios: Jorryt van Hoof (Holanda). Felix Stephensen (Noruega). Mark Newhouse (EE.UU.). 6º 1.622.080 $
