Las Vegas, United States
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the most prestigious poker series on the planet, held every summer in Las Vegas, across venues including the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Founded in 1970 by Benny Binion at the legendary Binion's Horseshoe, the series has grown from a small invitational gathering into a global phenomenon attracting tens of thousands of players from over 100 countries each year.
The WSOP features a packed schedule of over 90 bracelet events spanning virtually every poker variant — No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, Mixed Games, and more — with buy-ins ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. The crown jewel remains the iconic $10,000 Main Event, whose champions enter poker immortality. Golden WSOP bracelets are the sport's most coveted trophies, with legends such as Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, and Daniel Negreanu among the all-time bracelet leaders.
Phil Hellmuth is making a new move — and this time it's off the felt. After 17 WSOP bracelets and decades of dominating American poker tables, the 'Poker Brat' is stepping into the role of investor in poker education. His target: Octopi Poker, a rising training platform.
For the first time ever, the World Series of Poker will be broadcast live and free of charge on Winamax. Beyond the announcement itself, it's an entire live poker culture that is finding a permanent home in French living rooms.
Winning a WSOP bracelet is the ultimate achievement in world poker. But some players have stacked them up by the dozen, turning the extraordinary into the expected. A portrait of the green felt aristocracy that has rewritten the meaning of dominance.
