WSOP Bracelet For Sale
Have you heard that the young player to win the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2008, Peter Eastgate, is selling his WSOP Main Event World Championship bracelet on e-bay? Eastgate says that he never wears it.
In fact he says that he never wears any jewelry at all. That is why he has decided that instead of gathering dust in a drawer somewhere of sitting in a safe deposit box, he is going to put the bracelet, and a couple of other watches that he has worn, up for sale on ebay.
The proceeds are going to UNICEF which is a major charity. I am pretty certain that this is the first time that a World Series of Poker Main Event bracelet has been sold. Well I guess it is possible that when Stu Unger was on drugs and down and out he might have sold his but I never heard anything about that.
If you won the World Series of Poker Main Event, would you sell your bracelet? I guess there is only one way to find out. You have to get to the WSOP next year and win a bracelet. The best way to get there is through winning a WSOP prize package from an online poker site.
You can do this for just a few dollars. Sure you have to be lucky but you also have to be smart. Try to download UB poker for all of the best online poker action and see for yourself.
You all remember Chris Moneymaker. He is the guy that won the World Series of Poker Main Event that is credited with setting off the gambling explosion. It was a lot easier to win a WSOP Championship in the days before Moneymaker because the field was so much smaller.
It wasn’t easy of course but the importance of luck plays a much bigger role in a field of thousands versus a field of hundreds. Chris Moneymaker won his entry into the ten thousand dollar buy in WSOP Main Event through an online tournament qualifier. He probably would never have even played in the event if it hadn’t been for that.

1970 was the first year at the World Series of Poker. It was quite different that year from what it ha turned in to. The owner of the Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas, Benny Binion, invited six poker player to the first event that was held in 1970. So the field was only 6 players.
That year the winner was not determined by who won all of the chips. It was determined by a secret ballot by the six players so I guess we won’t count that one. Amarillo Slim won the World Series of Poker in the first year that it was truly determined by who won the tournament. That was 1972. Amarillo Slim won that WSOP Title by wading through a field of eight players.
