This year, the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Main Event crushed the record for the number of participants in the tournament. The move from Rio to Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Vegas Strip is proving to be a winning change for WSOP.
The 54th running of the WSOP Main Event had a record 10,043 entries.
Breaking the record for players in the Main Event isn’t an accident. Earlier this year, WSOP launched Main Event Maynia with this goal in mind.
Main Event Maynia was a special promotion at WSOP poker rooms online and in casinos around the country. This made it easier for players to earn a seat in the Main Event this year.
