The original World Series of Poker - 5 Rules of the Game In The Extravaganza So how did he become so famous and prestigious? It all began in 1949 when Nicholas "Nick the Greek" Dandalos approached Benny Binion with an offer he could not refuse: he wanted to organize a marathon of high stakes poker. The marathon will be available for public viewing, and duration would last for days or even months if necessary.
Binion set up the game between Johnny Moss and Dandalos - a marathon that lasted five months and no break for sleep and meals. Both men played their whole heart - and they played all forms of poker they knew. However, Moss has finally won the game and reduced to about $ 2 million.
Then, the famous Greek quotation was uttered: "Mr. Moss, I gotta let go. "
Binion saw that every day marathon of poker then, crowds have increased - people were really interested in watching "The Greek" and Moss in the game.

In 1972, Thomas "Amarillo Slim" Preston won the winning spot. This was also the year that interest in the World Series of Poker began to increase. Amarillo Slim is credited with the development of awareness of the tournament by making appearances on popular talk shows like Johnny Carson.

Online Satellites have made it easier for amateur players to earn spots in the World Series of Poker, while the televised poker has inspired millions to learn the game of poker.
