No Limit Poker

It's hard to believe that the movie Rounders came out 10 years ago now. But no matter what poker players today think of the movie, there's little doubt that it had a huge influence on the poker environment in the United States, and specifically on no-limit Texas hold'em and the World Series of Poker.

At that time, hold'em was not a very well known variant of poker and the World Series had 350 entrants to the main event. In the coming years those numbers would rise significantly. In 2003, an unknown amateur player named Chris Moneymaker turned a $39 satellite win at PokerStars into a World Series of Poker Championship and $2.5 million in prize money. The following year the number of entrants in the WSOP more than tripled. Poker hasn't been the same since.
