Dating back to the early 70s, this hugely popular tournament was essentially the creation of casino owner Benny Binion. Although it started rather small, today, it's a huge event, attracting many enterprising poker players and fans. The main game is a Texas hold 'em tournament held in July, which requires a buy-in of $10,000. The Final Table is held in November with its winner ending up being an instant multi-millionaire.
