The 2005 WSOP World Championship Comes to Town
The next few weeks will be like the Super Bowl season for poker players and fans. It's the 2005 World Series of Poker World Championship Event starting June 3rd in Las Vegas.
This year some 8,000 players are expected for the $10 thousand buy-in main event, that's a whopping $80 million in prize money!That could also mean everyone lucky enough to make the final table will instantly become a millionaire with the top prize probably reaching more than $10 million.
The 2005 WSOP championship will have more than 40 tourneys, including the $1500 No Limit Hold'em tournament. The event wraps up with the main event's finale on Friday, July 15th. Most of tournaments will be played at Harrah's Rio Casino Las Vegas, with the final two days of the main event to be played at Binion's Horseshoe.
As we all know by now, the WSOP events could dramatically change a lot of people's lives. In the past, poker pros call amateur players "dead money" because it was considered they don't have a shot at winning the top prize.
But things have changed, especially ever since Chris Moneymaker vistually came out of nowhere to steal the $2.5 million prize pot from everyone else, including the most revered poker pros in town.
Who will win the championship title this year? Will it be a poker pro or another $40 online satellite winner who will worm his way to the top?
Whatever the result may be, expect big names to headline the tournament events--Annie Duke, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Daniel Negreanu, and a lot more.
It's another exciting season of the WSOP World Championship event happening on June 3-July 15, 2005 in Las Vegas.
