Each World Series event holds it’s own challenges, as some will be low buy in events with vast fields of players, and some will have compact fields. The smaller field tournaments are usually in a slightly less popular discipline of the game, and attract the pros who know how to play every poker variant well. Many players have already completed the extremely difficult challenge of winning a bracelet this year, but there are still two of the most exciting events to be played at the time of writing this.

The $50k HORSE event is truly something special, as the very large buy in and mixed nature of the event, attracts small fields made up almost entirely of pros. This year the poker event has just got underway, with 95 players hoping to emulate Scotty Nguyens victory last year.

For many of these seasoned pros, what they win in side games or side bets will be more in monetary terms than they receive in poker tournament winnings this year, but for most players that isn’t the real point of being there. Of course players have to earn a living, but the most important aspect for many players, is how many titles and bracelets they win. This is what writes you into poker history, not the amount of cash you win in a side game. Young players tend to lean more towards making money at cash games I think, but there seems to be a trend of players hitting a certain age and beginning to understand just how important history is.
