Starting out with the original 6 poker players back in 1970 to today with more than 70,000 poker entrants, the World Series of Poker 2011 is now celebrating it’s 42nd year. The greatest event in poker is now offering more than $180 million in prizes to aspiring poker professionals – the grand prize being the coveted WSOP bracelet and nearly $9 million in grand prize poker winnings.
The 2011 WSOP is a group of 58 different poker tourneys with a buy-in that goes from as low as $500 to as high as $50,000. 380 poker tables are going to be laid out for ESPN as they film the WSOP, hosted at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas with over 100,000 square feet of space in their ballroom to host the event.
The WSOP, also known as the “Woodstock of Poker”, hosts professional poker players and amateur poker players from more than 115 different nations around the world.
Beyond the big tournaments happening at the WSOP 2011 you’ll also see No Limit Hold’em tournaments as low as $135 happening three times a day, cash games going on all day and night, 1 table tournaments, and mega-satellite tournaments as well.
