WSOP – The Most Prestigious Event on the Poker Calender
The World Series of Poker is the most prestigious event in the poker world. Held annually at the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, this series of poker tournaments commences in late May each year and runs for 2 months till towards the end of July.
World Series Of Poker. Jaime Gold Conquers the 2006 WSOP Main Event. The 2005 World Series of Poker was right in the.
During this 2 month period there are usually somewhere in the region of 60 events with buy-ins ranging from $1,500 all the way up to $1million in recent years.
World Series Of Poker Winning Amount
The culmination of each years WSOP is the $10,000 main event where a thousands of players compete for 7+ days to become the next World Series of Poker Champion, enter the history books forever, not to mention take home the massive prize, usually around the $10million mark.
Drawing in the Audience on TV
The main event is the biggest TV spectacle in the poker calender and is broadcast by ESPN. In 2008 the format was changed for the Main Event to include a delayed final table, which meant that in July during the WSOP, the event played until they reduced down to just a final table of 9 players, then the tournament paused, which the final table taking place later that year in October or November.
This allowed for a great deal of press and hype to be built up to the main event and the players involved and leading to the glitz and glamour of the final table taking place in front of thousands on the stage of the Penn and Teller Theatre at the Rio, and in front of many more covered live on ESPN with just a 15 minute delay so that hole cards can be shown. This has been a great success and really raised the profile of the sport.
The TV coverage on ESPN is lead by Lon McEachern and Norman Chad which have become household figures to regular poker fans.
Biggest fields in Poker
Many thousands of people turn up to play in the World Series each year, with many of the events attracting large fields especially the lower buy in events. However the $10,000 buy in main event still attracts the most entries peaking at 8,773 players in 2006 all paying $10,000 to enter generating a prize pool of $82.5million+ and a first prize of $12million for eventual winner Jamie Gold.
The attendance at the WSOP is boosted by the thousands of players who qualify via winning satellite tournaments run on online poker sites. This allows players who do not usually play in high buy in events to win their seat in the tournament for as little as a few dollars. In fact this is credited for being a major part of the ‘poker boom’ that took place after millions of Television viewers saw Chris Moneymaker win the WSOP Main Event and $2.5million in 2003 after winning his seat in a $30 online satellite.
The World Series of Poker Triple Crown
The triple crown consists of the three highest ranking achievements at each years WSOP. The three titles that every poker player wants to win include of course the Main Event, the $50,000 HORSE Poker Players Championship and the Player of the Year Award.

Astedt On Course For $2 Million in Super MILLION$ Earnings
Niklas Astedt hopes this is the Super MILLION$ where he finally gets the monkey off his back and manages to walk away as the victor. The talented Swede has played all but one of the 37 Super MILLION$ tournament to date, has cashed in 16 of those and this is his 10th final table. Astedt has finished second twice in this event, the latest runner-up finish coming on January 3 where he banked $346,104. Finishing fourth today would see Astedt’s Super MILLION$ earning surpass the $2 million mark, which is nothing short of incredible.
High stakes cash game specialist Wiktor Malinowski has reached his first Super MILLION$ final table, although this is his third consecutive in the money finish. Malinowski has cashed six times in this event but has always fallen short of the final table until now. He returns to the fray with 2,281,656 chips and has a realistic chance of becoming the tournament’s champion.
The last time we saw Canada’s Timothy Nuter at a Super MILLION$ final table was back on November 1, 2020. Nuter’s time under the spotlight was short-lived as he fell in eighth-place and had to make do with a $54,358 payout. The Canadian sits down this evening with 2,218,861 chips, enough for the middle of the pack. Surely he’ll go deeper than eighth place this time around.

Ferrariman Hopes to Turn $1,000 Satellite Into Enough for a Ferrari!
Sixth-place “Ferrariman” of Austria won their Super MILLION$ seat via a $1,000 satellite, so is guaranteed to enjoy a substantial ROI regardless of their finishing position. This is only their second appearance in this mammoth-sized event and their first cash. They may be in sixth-place at the restart, but they have 2,206,012 chips in their arsenal. The chip counts are extremely tight this week, which means anything can happen.
Sam Greenwood occupies seventh place right now, courtesy of his 1,981,850 chips. Greenwood is a phenomenal poker tournament player, but it’s fair to say the Super MILLIONS has been his nemesis tournament. Four cashes from 27 appearances have resulted in $102,240 in winnings. Today marks Greenwood’s first final table appearance in this event. Let’s hope he makes it count.
partypoker-sponsored pro Mikita Badziakouski is another player making his first final appearance in this event. His record in the biggest tournaments speaks for itself, but we know that anything but finishing in first-place isn’t good enough for the man from Belarus.
Bringing up the rear is Hungary’s “Syntropy”, who only recently joined the site. They have only two previous cashes at GGPoker, both min-cashes in a $210 and $525 bounty events. Syntropy won their Super MILLION$ seat via a $1,000 satellite and are guaranteed at least $56,610 for their efforts. Imagine if the Hungarian went all the way and took down the tournament for $452,885.
