The most incredible event happened in 2007 at the World Series of Poker (you can take part in satellites in most poker rooms, for example, here). For the first time a blind man took part in the championship – Hal Lubarski and, despite the complete lack of vision, he received prize money, taking 197th place. By playing poker you can win a whole city. This is how the incident that occurred in 1998 in the city of Estancia can be characterized. It turned out that in the state of New Mexico there is a law that gives the right to candidates who received the same number of votes in an election, to determine the winner by playing any game. One of the candidates, James Farrington, offered to play poker. Having defeated his opponent, he became mayor. Poker money can be used in other ways to become president.

According to the poker player himself, because of his incontinence and alcohol, he lost about $ 3 million in one session.

The bots turned out to be quite serious opponents, and even defeated two well-known poker players. In the end, however, people won. The longest running poker championship took place in 1949. Nick Dandalos and Johnny Moss met at the table. The episode lasted five months, with breaks only for sleep. As a result, Johnny emptied his opponent’s pockets by as much as $ 4 million. Popular player Johnny Moss performed a real miracle. He won the WSOP without winning the event. In 1937, an attempt was made to introduce a fifth suit into the playing deck of poker, but the idea was not crowned with success, because because of this, many refused to acquire new cards.
