First Cryptocurrency Poker Tournament and Major WSOP Events
The first cryptocurrency poker tournament took place in March 2010 with a prize pool of 1,000 bitcoins, which would be worth $50 million today. The tournament was proposed by BitcoinFX on the Bitcointalk forum with a buy-in of 55 BTC, and the winner was dwdollar who received 600 BTC.
Dwdollar, the winner of the first cryptocurrency poker tournament, later founded the first Bitcoin exchange, Bitcoinmarket.com.
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule for 2021 includes 88 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $400 to $250,000. The WSOP schedule includes a $25,000 buy-in heads-up tournament, a $25,000 HORSE tournament, and a $1,000 Flip & Go tournament. The $25,000 buy-in heads-up tournament will start on June 18, 2021, with 32 participants including Stefan112222, Victor Malinovsky, Linus Lelli, Buttonclickr, Doug Polk, Phil Ivey, and Tom Dwan. The tournament will be broadcast on the WPT channel, and some players will travel to Cabo for the event.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
