| Record-setting WSOP
The 2008 World Series of Poker overall was bigger and better than ever.
Harrah's has released a list of the records set, which include the most overall player entries (58,720; old record 54,288 in 2007); overall prize pool ($180,676,248; old record $159,796,218 in 2007); 118 different countries (old record: 87); and entries in a non-Main Event tourney (3,929 in Event #2, $1,500 NLHE).
The record that stands out the most is the amount of countries represented. Poker is truly a global game now with growth expected to continue worldwide.
