WSOP 2005 - $100 Million Prize Pool
Organizers of the World Series of Poker, the richest sporting event on the planet, today predicted the total prize pool at this year’s tournament will reach $100 million, more than doubling the record the event set just a year ago.
With a total of 45 events, the 36th annual World Series of Poker is the longest, largest and most prestigious event of its kind. Its unprecedented growth necessitated its move this year from its longtime home in downtown Las Vegas to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino just off the Strip, where the tournament is hosted in a 60,000-square-foot gaming area equipped with 200 poker tables.
