The poker world has reached the end of an era with the World Series of Poker (WSOP) concluding its final bracelet event at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
Next summer, the series will move down the road to the Las Vegas Strip, the first time the WSOP will take place anywhere but the Rio since 2004, when it was hosted at Binion's downtown.
On June 3, 2005, Anthony Nguyen shipped the $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em tournament, the first bracelet ever won at the Rio, owned at the time by Harrah's Entertainment, which later became Caesars Entertainment.
