The 2002 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was held at Binion's Horseshoe.
The 2002 WSOP was historically notable for two reasons. The series was the first WSOP in which pocket cams were installed to allow broadcasters (on tape delay) to show the players' hole cards, although only for the Main Event (today, the cameras are used at most WSOP events), and it was also the last WSOP before the 2003 Main Event victory of amateur Chris Moneymaker helped launch the 2000s poker boom.
Events
[edit ]There were 34 preliminary bracelet events at the 2002 World Series of Poker.[1] Phil Ivey won three bracelets in this WSOP, giving him four for his career. He joined Doyle Brunson, Gary Berland, Bobby Baldwin, Lakewood Louie as the only players to win four bracelets in three years. Ivey was the first to accomplish the feat in the era of growing tournament fields.
