A new book, ’52 Greatest Moments, World Series of Poker’ by Mark Rogers and Amalgam Studio has been released in celebration of some of the most memorable moments from the annals of poker’s most illustrious tournament.
The book sifts through a detailed collection of 52 of the event’s finest moments including legendary Main Event championships such as Johnny Moss and Doyle Brunson’s back to back wins and early domination in the 1970s, right up to the present day and Chris Moneymaker’s $2.5 million victory in 2003 resulting from his qualification via a $39 online satellite, which prompted millions of players to go online.
Since then, poker has seen something of a boom and Rogers’ book chronicles the game’s emergence into popular culture and how it continues to mould the changing traditions of the world’s largest poker tournament.
The book carries detailed accounts of the history behind the tournament’s best bluffs, perfect tens (tournament bracelets) and how they eventually unfolded, with relevant statistics plus notable WSOP finishes for the featured players.
The new release includes more than 100 quotes from professional poker players and critics, full colour photographs plus a full glossary of poker terms, rules and rankings. The book is available from www.52pokermoments.com priced at $39.95.
