It's 2005 WSOP Season!
The 2005 World Series of Poker Championship Event is fast-approaching! The championship tournaments will begin on June 2 in Las Vegas at the Rio Hotel and Casino until July 13. The last 2 days (July 14-15), however, will see action at WSOP's original home, the Jack Binnions Horseshoe Casino.
It's being predicted that around 7,000 players will participate in the $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas Hold'em main event alone. The buy-ins for all 2005 WSOP events range from $1,000 to $10,000. Of course most of the final tables will be taped for all non-casino-goer poker fans to see via ESPN.
We all know by now that a certain Chris Moneymaker helped make poker extremely popular, when he won the finals in 2003 for a buy-in stake of $40 in an online satellite tournament. And last year Greg Raymer toppled 2576 players to win the $5 million first prize for, again, a $40 online tournament.
So if you don't have 10 grand you can still win a seat to the WSOP championship, provided that you're a confident and good player. This tournament has become a reachable ticket to fame and fortune for many amateur players. So if you haven't qualified yet there are a lot of online poker rooms offering chances to win a seat to the 2005 WSOP.
This year's championship tournament will last approximately 40 days and an estimated 10,000 players from all over the world will flock Las Vegas to compete in 30 different poker games. Winners of each event will be awarded a gold bracelet and first place cash prizes ranging from $500,000 to $10,000,000. That's a 'whola' of money.
So if there's anyone out there who thinks they have what it takes to be the next Moneymaker, Selzki says be brave and go forth to find your fortune. I, however, will be there serving sake and most probably cheer for y'all, wink-wink.
