The WSOP began in Texas in 1969, it was an invitational hosted by Tom Moore of San Antonio, Texas. This very first event was won by Crandell Addington. The set of tournaments that would eventually evolve into the WSOP was the brainchild of Benny Binion. In 1970, the first WSOP took place in Las Vegas. The format was a freeze out and the winner was elected by his peers, by secret ballot, that was Johnny Moss. The Main Event of the WSOP has been the $10,000 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament since 1972, that event was won by "Amarillo Slim" Preston.
The WSOP is a series of competitions, so there is no single winner.
