WSOP 2008

The 2008 World Series of Poker is just around the corner, and with 55 events and more $10,000 or more buy in events than ever before, it's sure to generate large prize pools and big excitement for players and spectators alike.

The biggest event in the 2008 World Series of Poker will of course be the main event, the $10,000 no-limit Texas hold'em championship. Poker players, both amateur and professional, wait all year to play in this event, which crowns the World Champion of Poker.

The WSOP Main Event

The game is, of course, no-limit Texas hold'em. In this variation of hold'em, players can bet as many of their chips as they have on any betting round, allowing them to go "all-in" for their entire stack. This game creates some tense moments, as a player could find his or her tournament life on the line at any time. The winner of the event gains instant fame in the poker world as the champion of poker for a year. In recent years, the winner has achieved some notoriety, as large fields have resulted in a series of amateurs winning. This has caused some animosity among poker purists, who believe the title of champion bestowed on the winner may be undeserved.

The 2008 Main Event

After a drop off last year due to concerns about U.S. online gambling regulations, the online satellite system is back in force, meaning we may have record fields again in 2008. This will mean plenty of wild confrontations and plenty of new stars, as the established pros try to navigate a minefield of amateurs who are sometimes talented and sometimes reckless, but always dangerous. The winner, regardless of the naysayers' opinions, will achieve poker fame, and all eyes will be on him or her to see if he or she can prove worthy of the title of World Poker Champion.
