In many ways, the story of the WSOP is the modern story of poker itself. The WSOP has been through great changes in its 45-year WSOP history, changing from a family reunion of old road gamblers to a massive, seven-week conference of the world’s poker playing community. And the expansion of the series overseas has helped legitimize the game around the world, setting the stage for poker’s continued growth into the future.Īll of these outcomes were never a guarantee, though. Winning a gold bracelet in any of the Series’ dozens of events is still regarded as one of the highest achievements in the game. The Main Event, in particular, is uncontested as tournament poker’s unofficial world championship.
Nearly a decade and a half into the 21st century, the World Series of Poker is recognized around the world as the greatest of all poker tournament series.
