52 of the finest moments
The World Series of Poker has become one of the most entertaining poker events on the planet, attracting thousands of players and spectators and drawing in millions around the globe for the televised programs covering the action.
These annual events have produced some of the most memorable events in the history of poker, and an enterprising author has pulled these together in a new book released this week that chronicles 52 of the finest moments in the 37-year history of poker’s most illustrious and biggest prize winning tournament.
Written by Mark Rogers ’52 Greatest Moments, World Series of Poker’ artfully brings to life the colourful history of the WSOP from the legendary days of Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar, to the more recent exploits of Phil Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker and 2006 winner Jamie Gold.
The book counts down the top 52 moments from Main Event championships and preliminary event bracelet records to the influential moments that defined some of poker's most memorable characters.
Each of the 52 chapters carry detailed accounts of the history behind the tournament’s best bluffs, best comebacks, perfect tens (tournament bracelets) and how they eventually unfolded, with interesting tournament statistics and notable WSOP finishes for each featured player.
The new release includes more than 100 quotes from professional poker players and critics, full colour photographs, a full glossary of poker terms, rules and rankings, plus a gallery of all of the World Series of Poker Champions.
