| WORLD SERIES OF POKER - MAIN EVEN CHAMPIONSHere are all the winners of the WSOP main event all the way back to 1970 when Johnny Moss won that famous game with Nick the Greek Dandolos. The prize pool for 2005 WSOP main event was to be the largest in WSOP history and was in excess of $7,000,000. On to the 2006 World Series and Jamie Gold took down a cool 11 Million beating some very stiff opposition on route (getting his fair share of cards). 2007 Jerry Yang took home $8,250,000. out of 6,358 entrants.
As a result 2008 will see more and more online offers to play in the 2008 WSOP. If you are looking to get involved, there are more qualifiers than ever for this years tournament. See WSOP Online Satellites. ________________________________________________________________________
