Q8) (Really wish i hadnt done 10 q's now!)

The WSOP is actually a continuation of an invitational event held in Reno in 1969. Benny and Jack Binnion acquired the rights to this event, moved it to Vegas, and renamed it "The World Series Of Poker". The original event was not a freeze out, and a winner was chosen just like the 1970 WSOP. Although the 1969 winner is not officially recognized as a Main Event Champion, who won this invitational that gave birth to the WSOP?

moss

gentry?

Crandell Addington

damn...it was addington

royal is right again. thought that one might take a while!!!

Q9) In 2006 Jamie Gold became an instant legend defeating a record field in a WSOP Main Event that boasted 8,773 entrants, shattering the record set the previous year of 5,619. In 1972 a new record was set, breaking the old record set just two years before at the WSOP's inagural event. The new record broke the old record by just 1 entry. Poker legend Amarillo Slim won in '72 against this record field. How many entrants were there in 1972 for this record breaking extravaganza?

8

Was funny that one about Crandell Addington i was reading about him the other day, only guy to have made 8!!!!! WSOP main event finals.

8

Royal takes down Q9!!! I will try and do a real tricky one for Q10!

Q10) Who was the first non-professional poker player to win the WSOP Main Event?

fowler

Varkoni?

hal fowler

#

goign with that, never heard of him, lol

was reading about him the other day
not sure where though lol

54 runners in 1979.

canuck comes from nowhere to take Q10. Hal Fowler

All of these players did win the Main Event in the years listed next to their names. All were considered non-professional at the time they won. However, it was Fowler, all the way back in 1979 who became the first non-pro to win the big one.

It is rumored that Benny Binnion had to loan Fowler at least part of the entry fee.

Many today still consider Fowler's win to be the greatest upset in WSOP history.

If you answered Moneymaker, or Varkonyi, don't feel bad. You are in the company of many avid fans who share your previous misconception.
