World Series Of Poker
In the 1970s, poker took a sporting form with the creation of the largest tournament of its kind in the world, the World Series Of Poker (WSOP). Gaining notoriety thereafter, in 1971 the disputes went on to have cash prizes. The main event started with Texas Hold'em and in 1973 was added five-card-stud.
