It’s probably a little tough to remember, but there was a time when every Tom, Dick, and Harriet didn’t<\/em> have their own poker tournament series.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, the Wildhorse Poker Round Ups were huge, and even though the Spring edition is the middle child to the Fall and baby Summer series, the Main Event in 2008 had a prize pool of $300,000 and a buyin of $1K. That’s the High Roller<\/em> buyin these days.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t a regular at Wildhorse back then (heck, I’m not a regular there now, the first time I cashed in a tournament there was last fall), so I can’t claim to know the factors in play, but there was this recession thing that started in the fall of 2008, Then there was Black Friday\u2014where money got locked up for players on PokerStars and Full Tilt\u2014just before the start of the 2011 Spring series. <\/p>\n

Here’s a little chart for select events from 2008\u20142017, showing the winner, buyin, number of entries, and prize pool. Over the years the series schedule has changed, with many events moving from day to day between two weekends. Some events have stayed more or less untouched, others have disappeared completely (Ladies?). Soak in the info and good luck next week in Pendleton! <\/p>\n
