Poker is one of the most popular games you can play at a casino, but one variant stands head and shoulders above the others — Texas No-Limit Hold’em.

The game has boomed in recent years, with mainstream television coverage helping to take Hold’em to a much wider audience than had previously been the case.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is widely viewed as the pinnacle of the game, with the annual tournament attracting players from around the world to Las Vegas.

Its origins date back to 1970, when Benny Binion invited seven of the best-known poker players to the Horseshoe Casino for a single tournament.
