| | The World Series of Poker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | Remember, one of the best things about this event is that, unlike the Super Bowl or the baseball World Series, the WSOP is very much accessible to the normal poker player. |
 | | In 2004, Harrah's Entertainment purchased Binion's Horseshoe, renaming it just "Binion's" and announced that the 2005 Series would be held at the Harrah's-owned Rio Casino, just off the Las Vegas strip, with the final two days of the main event held downtown at Binion's in celebration of the centennial of the founding of Las Vegas. |
 | | It may be that winning the WSOP makes legends out of people, but some living poker legends have tried unsuccessfully for years to win the main event, including: T. Cloutier (2000 and 1985 runner-up), Erik Seidel (1988 runner-up), Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, Barry Greenstein, Men "The Master" Nguyen, and Howard Lederer. |
