The World Series of Poker is a yearly series of poker
tournaments hosted by the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. Amateur
Chris Moneymaker's $2.5 million win in 2003 and Jim McManus' book
"Positively Fifth Street" introduced many non-poker players to this
premiere tournament series. Harrah's hosts the Official WSOP Home Page and
Conjelco maintains archives for 1995 through
2000. They change the details from year to year, so while the
information below gives you the general idea, be sure to check the
official site for this year's particulars.
