From a fledgling, high-stakes poker marathon with just two players in the summer of 1949, the idea of an ultimate World Champion of Poker has grown into a cultural phenomenon involving 2,576 players in the 2004 World Series of Poker No-Limit Texas Hold `Em Championship at the famous Horseshoe® Casino in Las Vegas. The whole world watched on TV as the winner scooped up the final pot of more than $25,000,000 in chips and walked away with the $5,000,000 prize fund and the world title.
