The 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP), sponsored once again by 888poker, set multiple records with 120,995 entrants and more than $231 million awarded across 74 events.
The poker world has seen many unforgettable heads-up confrontations — Chan vs. Hellmuth, Moneymaker vs. Farha, and Brunson vs. Ungar among them. The rivalry between Will Kassouf and Stacy Matuson quickly joined that list after their highly publicised hand during the 2016 WSOP Main Event. The tension eventually led to a formal grudge match at the 888Live Kings Festival in Rozvadov.
The World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) made its debut in 2007, marking the first time WSOP bracelet events were ever held outside Las Vegas.
