what year was texas hold em invented
Ever since 1971, the second year of the series, the main event of this tournament has been a no-limit game of Texas hold'em. Although the amount of entrants was small at first, they grew steadily over the years and now thousands of people compete in the main event of the World Series of Poker each year. Texas hold'em's place on the world stage was further cemented by a couple of books released in the '70s and '80s.
