The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is a series of poker tournaments held annually in Las Vegas and, since 2005, sponsored by Caesars Entertainment (known as Harrah's Entertainment until 2010). It dates its origins to 1970, when Benny Binion invited seven of the best-known poker players to the Horseshoe Casino for a single tournament, with a set start and stop time, and a winner determined by secret ballot.
The winner of each event receives a World Series of Poker bracelet and a monetary prize based on the number of entrants and buy-in amounts. Over the years, the tournament has grown in both the number of events and in the number of participants. Each year, the WSOP culminates with the $10,000 no-limit hold'em "Main Event," which, since 2004, has attracted entrants numbering in the thousands. The victor receives a multi-million dollar cash prize and a bracelet, which has become the most coveted award a poker player can win. The winner of the World Series of Poker Main Event is considered to be the World Champion of Poker.
It's been a lifetime since i told you i care
It took a second, though it felt like a day
I want you closer, closer than you are now
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
If somehow, you feel to complain
I'm here just watching over you
It takes more than assumptions
To make me understand your point
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
Just say something, anything at all
I'm used to i won't take the fall
If somehow you fail
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
Then stay close to me maybe i'll try to take you through
Take you through on another day
Another day...
