BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER

Though the World Series of Poker made its official debut in 1970, the idea of the Horseshoe Casino's annual tournament was

actually conceived more than two decades earlier.

In the summer of 1949, as the story goes, inveterate gambler Nicholas “Nick the Greek” Dandolos approached Benny Binion

with an unusual request – to challenge the best in a high-stakes poker marathon. Binion agreed to set up a match between

Dandolos and the legendary Johnny Moss, with the stipulation the game be viewed in public.

During the course of the marathon, which lasted five months with breaks only for sleep, the two men played every form of

poker imaginable. Moss ultimately won “the biggest game in town” and an estimated $2 million. When the Greek lost his last

pot, he arose from his chair, bowed slightly, and uttered the now-famous words, “Mr. Moss, I have to let you go.” Dandolos

then went upstairs to bed.

Though significant in its own way as a chapter in poker history, the five-month marathon took on added importance to Benny

Binion. He noted that the public had gathered outside the casino each day to watch the game with the fervor of dedicated

sports fans, and he was amazed at the attention the event had attracted. But it wasn't until 1970 that Binion decided to re-create

this excitement and stage a battle of poker giants – dubbed the “World Series of Poker” – to determine who would be worthy

of the title World Champion. Some of the best players in the country were assembled, and Johnny Moss came out on top. The

decision was democratic in that the champion was decided by popular vote.

The following year, the winner was determined by a freeze-out competition, with players being systematically eliminated until

one player had all the chips. Moss again became the World Champion. In 1972, when Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston won

the title and went on the talk show circuit, the WSOP began to gain a wider following.

It was a year later that Binion participated in the Oral History Project at the University of Nevada-Reno and discussed the

World Series of Poker (WSOP) with interviewer Mary Ellen Glass. “This poker game here gets us a lot of attention,” he told

Glass. “We had seven players last year, and this year we had 13. I look to have better than 20 next year. It's even liable to get up

to be 50, might get up to be more than that.” Binion then paused, and as if gazing into the future, prophesied, “It will

eventually.”

In the early 1980s, with the introduction of preliminary satellite competitions with lower buy-ins, Binion's prophecy came to

fruition and the popularity of the World Series of Poker soared. (A satellite is a tournament whose prize is an entry into

another higher buy-in tournament).

But even Benny Binion, who passed away on Christmas Day of 1989, would have had difficulty foreseeing the enormous

growth the annual tournament has experienced since.

In 1982, nine years after Mr. Binion participated in UNR's Oral History Project, the tournament drew a total of 1,253 entrants

across all its events. Two decades later, there were 7,593 entries and the 2017’s WSOP attracted a record 120,995 entrants from

an astonishing 111 different nations. The prize money has increased exponentially as well. In 1982, a total of $2,607,700 was

awarded, while in 2017 a staggering $231,010,874 was won. Whereas only 12 events, mostly Texas Hold'em and Seven-Card

Stud, were scheduled as recently as 1988, the 2017 series offered 74 competitions that featured a wide variety of games.

The WSOP is now a global phenomenon, with the WSOP Circuit, a WSOP International Circuit, WSOP Europe and WSOP

Asia-Pacific all regular live events on the poker calendar. Plus, with a leading WSOP Social Game and real-money online poker

in New Jersey and Nevada, the brand reaches every corner of the globe with digital or live iterations.

The legacy Benny Binion left the poker community ranks as the oldest, largest, most prestigious, and most media-hyped gaming

competition in the world, and, no doubt, it holds the promise of an even brighter future. But equally important, the World

Series of Poker has touched thousands of lives over the years, affording talented players the opportunity to follow their dreams,

reach for the stars and perhaps one day achieve greatness in their chosen endeavor.

ABOUT WORLD SERIES OF POKER EUROPE

The World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) was established in 2007 by Caesars Interactive Entertainment to bring the excitement and entertainment of the World Series of Poker to destinations around the globe.

WSOPE was the first live tournament brand extension internationally of the world’s longest-running, richest and most prestigious gaming event. During the first eight years of the WSOPE, a total of 15,603 entrants have competed for 48 gold bracelets and been awarded more than $79 million in prize money.

In the first four years, the event was held in London, England at the Casino at the Empire in Leicester Square. For the next two years, the WSOPE was held in Cannes, France at the Casino Barrière de Cannes Croisette and the Hotel Majestic Barrière. In 2013, the event took place in Paris, France at Enghien Les Biens and Casino Barrière. The most recent WSOPE was in 2015 and was held in Berlin, Germany at the Speilbank Casino.

In 2017, WSOP Europe will be contested from October 19– November 10, 2017 at King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic – marking the first time the event will be held in the Czech Republic and just the fourth different European country to host the event.

Eighteen different nations have captured a WSOP Gold Bracelet on European soil: USA (13), UK (5), Canada (4), France (4), Denmark (3), Greece (3), Australia (2), Germany (2), Italy (2), Portugal (2) and Afghanistan, Finland, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia and Uruguay.

€111,111 High Roller For One Drop

The €111,111 High Roller for One Drop will be the largest buy-in in WSOPE history. Prior to this

event, the largest WSOPE Bracelet event buy-in was €25,600 at the 2013 and 2015 series’. The event

will have a €10,000,000 Guarantee.

Similar to prior One Drop events, a portion of the buy-in will be donated to One Drop, which helps

provide access to safe drinking water all around the world.

€11,111 from each of the player’s first entries will be donated to One Drop. With already more than 70

players committed to play the event, the total amounted donated should be well over three-quarters of

million euros and potentially eclipse one million euros.

This event will be live streamed from start to finish. The streaming schedule is as follows:

Day 1—Friday, November 3 at 14:00 (9 am ET)

Day 2—Saturday, November 4 at 13:00 (8 am ET)

Day 3—Sunday, November 5 at 14:00 (8 am ET)

2017 WSOP Europe | Player of the Year

Previous WSOP Player of the Year Winners

The World Series of Poker instituted a Player of the Year system in 2004, after Caesars acquired the

brand. The system awards points based on finish for all open bracelet events. Anyone who cashes in an

open WSOP gold bracelet event is awarded points. The player with the most overall points is the winner

of the WSOP Player of the Year.

The 2017 Player of the Year will be the person who accumulates the most points this year in open bracelet

events contested in Las Vegas and Rozvadov for WSOP Europe. Ladies, Casino, Seniors, Super Seniors

and Global Casino Championship do not count in Player of the Year standings.

The Player of the Year winner will get a buy-in to 2018 WSOP $10,000 Main Event and a banner.

Chris Ferguson won a free seat to the €10,350 WSOPE Main Event seat for earning the most points over

the course of the 74 Gold Bracelet events at the WSOP in Las Vegas.
