World Series of Poker 1970 - 2009

The World Series of Poker

World Series of Poker 2009

The 40th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) -- a set of poker tournaments open to anyone 21 years of age or older -- will commence Wednesday, May 27 with the first of 57 gold bracelet events, and the next day a special $40,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament will commemorate the gaming industry’s most illustrious event.

The annual poker extravaganza, which dates back to 1970, is televised exclusively on ESPN from the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and consists of a comprehensive slate of the game’s most popular variations.

The 40th annual WSOP will conclude with the $10,000 buy-in World Championship No-Limit Hold‘em Main Event which begins play Friday, July 3, 2009 and reaches its final table (nine players) on July 15, 2009, at which time play will be halted. The famed tournament’s culmination will be held with the “November Nine” from November 7-10, 2009, before a live audience with special primetime coverage from ESPN.

The landmark WSOP comes on the heels of a record year in 2008, when the WSOP generated the most entries ever (58,720) from the most countries ever (124) that competed for the largest prize pool ever ($180,774,427) while awarding 55 championship gold bracelets, globally recognized as the sport’s top prize.

PokerPages.com is proud to offer the results to all recent WSOPs as a part of our extensive tournament database. Be sure also to check out all of the hand by hand action from the live coverage blogs for 2008 and in year's past.

WSOP November Nine

The 2009 November Nine:


Each has already pocketed 9th-place money, which is a cool $1,263,602. The eventual champ will take home $8,546,435. That's about $500K less than Peter Eastgate took home last year, when there was about $3 million more in the prize pool. On the other hand, 9th-place was only good for $900K last year, so the pay scale has seen some welcomed flattening. In 2007, when Jerry Yang took it down, being the first elimination at the final table was only worth $525,934. Maybe Phillip Hilm should have waited a couple years to make an impressive run and follow it up with an epic blow up.
