The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the largest, richest and
most prestigious gaming event in the world awarding millions of
dollars in prize money and the prestigious gold bracelet, globally
recognized as the sport's top prize. Featuring a comprehensive
slate of tournaments in every major poker variation, the WSOP is
poker's longest running tournament in the world, dating back to
