The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a poker tournament[2] held annually in Las Vegas. The first WSOP in 1970 was an invitational wherein Benny Binion invited six of the best known poker players to The Horseshoe Casino. At first, the WSOP grew slowly. It was twelve years before the WSOP drew 52 participants, in 1982.[2] In the early 1980s satellite tournaments were introduced allowing people to win their way into the various events for less than the full entry fees.[2] By 1987, there were over 2100 entrants in the entire series.[2] Participation peaked in 2006, with 8773 people participating in the Main Event alone. 2009 World Series of Poker Episode 1 Event #2 – k No Limit Hold’em Part 1 of 2 Original Air Date: 28 July 2009 Repack Release Date: 29 July 2009 Event Date: 28 May 2009 – 31 May 2009 Number of Players: 201 Justin Bonomo Ted Forrest Issac Haxton Vitaly Lunkin Greg Raymer Noah Schwartz Dani Stern Alec Torelli Lex Veldhuis
