- WSOP 2008
-
Die World Series of Poker 2008, die auch als Pokerweltmeisterschaft bezeichnet wird, begann am 30. Mai 2008 und endete mit dem Finaltisch (engl. Final Table) des Hauptturniers (engl. Main Event), der - ein Novum in der Geschichte der WSOP - erst nach einer viermonatigen Pause vom 9.-11. November ausgespielt wurde.
Insgesamt standen 55 Pokerturniere in den Varianten Texas- und Omaha Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Razz sowie in der gemischten Variante H.O.R.S.E. auf dem Turnierplan. Wie schon 2006 und 2007 wurden erneut alle Turniere im Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada von Harrah’s Entertainment veranstaltet.[1]
