List of World Series of Poker Main Event champions - Wikipedia List of World Series of Poker Main Event champions Joe Cada won the WSOP Main Event in 2009. The following is the list of World Series of Poker Main Event champions. The World Series of Poker ( WSOP ) is `` the oldest, largest, most prestigious, and most media - hyped gaming competition in the world ''. It is held annually since 1970 in Las Vegas. Since 1972, the Main Event of the WSOP has been the $10,000 buy - in no - limit Texas Hold ' Em tournament. The winner of the WSOP Main Event receives a World Series of Poker bracelet, millions of dollars ( with the exact amount based on the number of entrants ), and the right to be considered the year 's World Champion of Poker. From 2008 to 2016, the nine players who made it to the final table of the Main Event were called the November Nine, a reference to the fact that the final table was completed in November, months after the Main Event 's preliminary rounds were completed. Until 2005, the WSOP was held at Binion 's Horseshoe. In 2005, the event moved to the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino. The 2005 Main Event was not played completely at the Rio. The final three tables, which comprised the final 27 players, played the conclusion of the event at Binion 's Horseshoe. All of the Main Events that proceeded the 2005 event were played completely at the Rio. Consequently, this made Joe Hachem the final player to win the Main Event at the original home of the World Series of Poker.

Since then only Moss and Stu Ungar have won the Main Event three times ; Ungar is the only one to have won three times in the freeze - out format. Moss, Ungar, Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan are the only people who have won the Main Event two years in a row. Johnny Chan 's second victory in 1988 was featured on the 1998 film Rounders. Peter Eastgate was the youngest person to win the Main Event when he won it in 2008, at 22 years of age. He held that record for one year, when 21 - year - old Joe Cada became the youngest Main Event champion. World Series of Poker Main Event This section needs to be updated.

effort of World Series of Poker - branded poker tournaments outside the United States. Since 1970, the bracelet events have occurred every year in Las Vegas. The inaugural WSOPE, held in 2007, marked the first time that a WSOP bracelet was awarded outside Las Vegas. The 2007 Main Event, a GBP 10,000 buy - in no - limit hold ' em tournament, was won by Norwegian player Annette Obrestad on the day before her 19th birthday. This made her the youngest person to win a WSOP bracelet, a record that can not be broken in the Las Vegas WSOP under current laws because the minimum legal age for casino gaming in Nevada is 21. Obrestad could play in the WSOPE because the minimum age for casino gaming in the United Kingdom is 18. The World Series of Poker Europe has a unique identity from the Las Vegas WSOP, but according to Harrah 's will remain true to the traditions and heritage. The 2011 WSOP Europe main event was an 8 - handed event.

Benny Binion took a secret ballot that asked the players who the best player was. According to poker lore, everybody said that they were the best player. Binion then asked who the second - best player was, and Johnny Moss won. Jack Straus ' 1982 WSOP tournament victory is considered to be one of the greatest comebacks in poker history. At one point, Straus was down to one chip, and he came back to win. This victory is considered the origin of the poker saying, `` A chip and a chair. '' A saying that means that as long as you have a chip and a chair you have a chance. Modern lore indicates that this happened at the final table, but the 1983 book The Biggest Game in Town implies this occurred on the first day of the tournament. Chris Moneymaker won the entry into the WSOP Main Event via a $39 online satellite. Joe Cada is the youngest person to have won the WSOP Main Event. Annette Obrestad won the WSOPE at the age of 18 years, 364 days, making her the youngest person to have won a WSOP bracelet. She is also the first woman to have won a Main Event tournament and in 2007 was considered to be one of the best online multi-table tournament players in the world. The final table at the 2008 WSOPE Main Event, was the longest final table in the WSOP history. The tournament lasted 22 hours ( a WSOP record ) and 434 hands ( a WSOP record ). At the 2012 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, Hellmuth won his record - breaking 13th bracelet. This also made him the first player ever to win the Main Events at both the WSOP and WSOPE. Hellmuth also holds the records for most WSOP cashes ( 100 ) and most WSOP final tables ( 53 ). Doyle Brunson obtained the nickname of Texas Dolly when Jimmy The Greek mispronounced his name. In recent years, the prize pool for the WSOP Main Event has become so large that the winner instantly becomes one of the top money winners in tournament poker. Jamie Gold ( 2006 ) is number eight on that list, Joe Hachem ( 2005 ) is number ten, and Peter Eastgate ( 2008 ) is number eleven. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 curtailed online gambling in the United States. References Jump up ^ `` World Series of Poker History ''. ESPN.com. ESPN. July 28, 2006.
