L444 bet WSOP 2025: What You’ll Learn
L444 betThe World Series of Poker (WSOP) began with a handful of players in the 1970s and evolved with the addition of Texas Hold’em and gold bracelets for winners.
The WSOP Main Event buy-in was established at $10,000 in 1972, with subsequent growth in popularity driven by television and pivotal moments such as Chris Moneymaker’s 2003 victory.
Harrah’s acquired WSOP in 2004, relocating events to the Rio, and eventually to Horseshoe and Paris on the Las Vegas Strip under Caesars Entertainment management.
The modern era of WSOP has been boosted by poker streaming, vlogging, and online gaming, with GGPoker securing rights as part of a significant acquisition deal.
L444 betDespite changes in ownership and technology, the WSOP 2025 continues as the most prestigious poker series, underscored by the significance of winning a WSOP bracelet as highlighted by poker legends.
L444 bet The World Series of Poker (WSOP 2025) kicked off on Tuesday at the Horseshoe and Paris casinos in Las Vegas and players now have eight weeks of card playing to look forward to with millions of dollars and 100 gold bracelets on the line.
The series runs through July 16 and the first week of events already ramps up the action with plenty of big bucks up for grabs including the possibility of a luckey player walking away with a $1 million bounty.

Looking Ahead
The $1,000 Mystery Millions kicks off the series with five flights running through Saturday. Two lucky winners will score a bounty worth $1 million. Here’s a look at Valentyn Shabelnyk’s win last year. The lucky player seemed more concerned about getting back to his seat than celebrated the seven-figure win.
L444 betAlson on Tuesday, the $500 Industry Employees No Limit Hold’em (NLHE) event also gets underway. Formerly known as the Casino Employees Championship, the event has traditionally been one of the series’ first events and poker dealer Joe Garcia topped a field of 1,189 entries last year for a payout of $79,134.
L444 betAlso this week, a pair of $5,000 buy-in events highlight the early action with a NLHE tournament kicking off Wednesday and a pot limit Omaha event set for Thursday.

Another hefty buy-in event begins on Saturday with the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship getting underway. The “weekend warrior” lower buy-in events begin on Sunday with the $600 NLHE Deepstack.

L444 betWill Hellmuth Reconsider Playing the Main Event?
While plenty of card playing can be expected on the felt, there is also plenty of news each year off the felt. This year, that has included 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth announcing earlier this year that he’d be skipping the $10,000 main event.
L444 betThe “Poker Brat” won the tournament in 1989 for $755,000 at just age 24, but said earlier this year the event has become an “endurance contest” that favors younger players. Many doubted he’d be able to stay away from the biggest event in tournament poker – including Danaiel Negreanu.
Will the 60-year-old poker pro pony up his $10,000 and take a seat? That remains to be seen, but don’t bet against it.
L444 betAnd while Hellmuth is quick to boast about his poker prowess, he’s also not afraid to poke some fun at himself. Hellmuth reposted this fan’s AI “baby Phil” this week.
