Has anyone ever entered the World Series of Poker?

Question

And if you did how did you do and what was it like? Is the buy in still 10k?

Answer 1

A guy I know played in the Main Event this year. He cashed out around $33,000. Pretty good for his first try!

Answer 2

I've played in the circuit event, in Atlantic City.

You have to understand the WSOP is a series of poker competitions with buy-ins as low as $1,500.  They also have satellites with much lower buy-ins.

There are also circuit events held at casinos all around the country with buy-ins as low as $300, right up to $10,000.

I think you are probably referring to the main event of the WSOP held in Vegas each year.  The buy in for this is still $10,000.

You can watch televised portions of the various WSOP events on ESPN Tuesday night.

Answer 3

I played in the Ladies event at the WSOP and in their circuit events.  The buy ins for those events wwere lower than 10K.  The main event is sitll 10K.

Answer 4

There are actually 55 separate tournaments at the WSOP. They range in buyin from $1500 - $50,000 (H.O.R.S.E.).  But yes, the main event is still 10k

Answer 5

No I didn't participate, but for WSOP 2008, it was still 10k buy-in.
