The World Series of Poker is poker's most storied tournament festival, dating back to 1970 and the focal point of the game each year. Many different tournaments have taken place at the WSOP each summer, and in 1992 a new format of Texas hold'em was played with pot-limit hold'em hitting the schedule for the first time.
At least one pot-limit hold'em event has been on the WSOP schedule every year since. In fact, only 1999 had just one pot-limit tournament. Every other year there were two or three. This year, there are once again two on the schedule — the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em and the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship.
