The World Series of Poker
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the premiere poker tournament. It dates back to 1949 when Johnny Moss faced off against gambler Nick Dandolos at Benny Binion’s Horseshoe casino in Las Vegas for a series of matches that established its roots.
As it expanded, it began attracting more players and prize pool increased significantly. Since its expansion, WSOP has become one of the richest sporting events with last year’s winner, Jamie Gold, winning $12 Million!
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has expanded beyond America with the World Series of Poker Circuit, launched in 2015. Poker enthusiasts worldwide can compete to earn one of these prestigious gold bracelets for themselves.
The European Poker Tour
John Duthie created the European Poker Tour in 2004 to capitalize on the growth of Texas Hold ’em popularity, starting off in Barcelona with a EUR1K buy-in Main Event which attracted 229 players – of whom Alexander Stevic won and earned himself an indelible place in poker history.
By season 4, the European Poker Tour had expanded significantly in terms of size and scope, including stops in London, Dublin, Copenhagen, Deaville and Vienna – all hosted and fully sponsored by PokerStars.
The European Poker Tour has long been recognized for being a haven for celebrities, from racing drivers and singers to movie stars and singers.
