The World Series of Poker (WSOP) was inaugurated in 1970 at the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. Benny Binion decided to create a single tournament with a set start and stop time. A secret ballot would determine the winner among seven entrants.
Fast forward fifty-plus years, and the modern-day WSOP has over one hundred events. Its flagship tournament, the Main Event alone, regularly boasts thousands of entries.
The current Main Event broke all records with 10,043 entries generating a whopping prize pool of $93,399,900!
