Palm Beach Hosts World Series of Poker


The World Series of Poker began in 1969 with an event called the Texas Gambling Reunion. It was an invitational event sponsored by Tom Moore of San Antonio, Texas, and held in Reno, Nevada. This inaugural event was won by Crandell Addington. The set of tournaments that the World Series of Poker (WSOP) would evolve into was the brainchild of Las Vegas casino owner and poker player Benny Binion. In 1970, the first WSOP at Binion's Horseshoe took place as a series of cash games.
  
Today the World Series of Poker has Circuit Tournaments around the country leading to the finals in Las Vegas.
February 8 - February 25, Palm Beach Kennel Club hosts the World Series of Poker Circuit Event highlighted by the $1,675 NLH Championship running February 23, 2013.
