Poker curiosity:
Do you know who was the first poker champion, and when did that happen?
Johnny Moss was the first to win a world poker tournament this happened in 1970, the creator of this wonderful tournament was Benny Binion, this man ran big casinos in Las Vegas after the war.
I do not think he even imagined how this tournament would be known around the world

Benny ran the Horseshoe in Vegas and always had his eye on something that could attract more players. He had a sinister side but is a big part of the foundation of the wsop.

wow, I thought that Doyle Brunson was the first winner of a WSOP, by the way he has won a lot of bracelets, maybe he was playing that one too
