The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the most decorated and anticipated poker gaming event of the year. And it’s also the world’s longest running poker contest. Australian poker players of yesteryear will recall the very first tournament of the WSOP taking place in 1970. And with such a rich poker gaming history, there is a wealth of treasures available for participants. It all kicks off with mega-winnings and of course those inimitable poker bracelets – the ones worn by 10-time WSOP champ Doyle Brunson and others of his ilk. This gold bracelet is recognized as the ultimate achievement in poker and the WSOP is the grandest of the world’s top-tier poker events. The most renowned World Series of Poker tournament takes place at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. There poker players can relish the prospect of stylish buy-ins to the tune of $50k. The WSOP was rated as the 7th most admired brand in the latter half of 2008. The gaming variety at the WSOP includes multiple poker games such as Omaha, Shootouts, H.O.R.S.E, Texas Hold’em, Razz, Stud, Lowball, Hi-Lo games, No-Limit games and Pot-Limit games. And there’s plenty more for Aussie poker players where those came from. The WSOP accepts any legally permissible player to enter and there are fantastic qualifying satellite tournaments available through OzPoker.net.au and 888poker.com.au. The WSOP for 2010 has just ended and the final table was jam-packed with poker celebrities. Huck Seed cashed out with $500k as the big winner of the Tournament of Champions Crown. He knocked out Howard Lederer in the heads-up contest. Anyone can win, but remember, you have to be in it to win it.
