Professional poker players are starting to prepare themselves for the 44th edition of the World Series of Poker. The tournament, which begins today, will start off with the “$500 casino employees” event. A $5,000 no-limit hold’em eight-max tournament is also today’s first open buy-in event of the summer.
As many professional players make their way to Las Vegas and many other are local to the area, the WSOP has become a well known brand making the game of poker an appealing activity and attracting players worldwide.
