The 48th Annual World Series of Poker was another record-breaking year, including most number of entrants, largest Main Event starting flight, and more ITM finishes than ever before.

The number crunchers have finally emerged from their underground bunker. We have the results. The 48th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) was another record-breaker.

The 48th annual event sucked 120,995 entrants through the Rio doors, meaning the most prestigious poker tournament series of them all trekked into the 120,000 entrant mark for the first time, up 12.2% from last year’s record-breaking numbers.

With the Colossus numbers dropping on an annual basis, the WSOP has to continually come up with new tricks to retain the record-breaking momentum, and this year it was the $365 buy-in GIANT that made all the difference dragging in 10,015 entrants.
