What is it about WSOP which drives poker fans mad?

For many poker fans around the world, WSOP has literally taken years to come around with expectation and excitement growing as the final table begins today. But what is it about WSOP which drives poker fans mad, brings them flocking in their thousands and has seen the online industry and off-line industry go from strength to strength?<br /> <br /> Apart from the fact that this year sees nearly $10 million at stake, the chance to join the WSOP hall of fame and an open door to fame and fortune in the world of poker, it is a challenge. However, as every WSOP tournament begins each and every person believes that they can win, dreams of the massive cash prize and the adulation this may bring. The main attraction of WSOP is the fact that it can happen to you and it has happened to many many people who literally came from nowhere.<br /> <br /> The beauty of WSOP is its unpredictability and the fact that no one player has ever retained a title in the history of WSOP. This is the event at which the poker player from next door is able to run shoulders with the stars of today, yesteryear and tomorrow.
