WSOP 1970- 1980 - History and Winner Details |
| The inaugural World Series of Poker took place in the year 1970 with only as few as 10 members. This tournament was completely new to everyone. The same trend persisted even for the next few years, but in the late 70s players have started to identify this, and the tournament started gaining prominence. |
