Search28th December 2005 : WSOP Started when and where?In 1970 the first WSOP at Binion's Horseshoe took place. Johnny Moss was elected by his peers (who included Doyle Brunson and Benny Binion) as the first World Champion of Poker and received a silver cup as a prize. Starting in 1971 all WSOP events have been freezeout tournaments with cash prizes. In 1973 a new event, five-card stud, was added to the main event of no-limit Texas hold 'em. Since then new events have been added and removed. In 2003 and 2004 there were 36 events at the WSOP, including poker games like Omaha and Razz as well as events only for seniors and women. Event winners get, in addition to their prize money, a golden bracelet.
