history

As usual with all tournaments of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the winner receives a bracelet in addition to the prize money . The 1977 WSOP saw the first ever women-only tournament. Jackie McDaniels then won the event in the Variant Limit Seven Card Stud with 100 dollars buy-in. The entry fee was gradually increased in the following years to $ 500 in 1982 . As of 1992 , the buy-in was $ 1,000. Barbara Enright won her second title at the 1994 WSOP after 1986 ; other multiple winners are Susie Isaacs ( 1996 and 1997 ) and Nani Dollison ( 2000 and 2001 ). From 2000 to 2003 a mix of Limit Hold'em and Seven Card Stud was played. In the 2004 WSOP just stood Limit Hold'em on the program since 2005 is No Limit Hold'em played. After more men had taken part in the tournament, the buy-in for men was increased to 10,000 US dollars in 2013 . At the World Series of Poker Europe 2013 in Cannes , a ladies event with a buy-in of € 1,100 was also held, which was won by Australian Jackie Glazier .
