En las World Series of Poker, se ha batido un nuevo récord de asistencia y se espera que se rompan más récords.
Por Hannah Ward

Para los fanáticos del póker, el 6 de julio fue un día histórico. El evento principal de las World Series of Poker ha batido el récord de la mayor cantidad de jugadores hasta la fecha, con 9.000 participantes.

Anteriormente, el récord era de 8.773. Con este evento, se decidirá quién será el campeón mundial de póker. Con este título, el ganador ganará un "asiento vitalicio" durante los próximos 30 años en este evento.

La inscripción se cerrará oficialmente a las 16:30 horas del sábado 8 de julio.

Las World Series of Poker han otorgado premios en metálico por valor de más de 3.630 millones de dólares a lo largo de los años. El ganador también recibe un brazalete de oro, que muchos jugadores de póker reconocen como uno de los premios más importantes del deporte.

Ty Stewart, vicepresidente sénior y director ejecutivo de la WSOP, declaró: "Este es un día colosal no solo en la historia de la WSOP, sino también para el póker en sí. Es especialmente especial hacer historia en nuestro primer año en el nuevo Horseshoe de Las Vegas.

"Creo que el día de hoy es un gran testimonio de la pasión de toda la comunidad de póker, que todos los años se reúne en torno a este evento. Esperamos que este récord dure poco y que estemos preparados para otra gran participación el verano que viene. "

Se espera que esta competición de 2023 rompa todos los récords, incluidos los de participación, participantes y premios totales, al finalizar el torneo el 18 de julio.
