The 2007 World Series of Poker began it's 38th year on June 1st. And with 55 tournament events, (an increase of 9 over last years 46), not only will more gold and diamond bracelets be handed out to more champions, but the prize pool money payouts will be redistributed in all events. This will give more to the players that make it to the money levels verses what they received in 2006. But the overall numbers of players that will enter has it's share of controversy due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) which was passed into law by President George Bush II in October 2006. When you factor in that PartyPoker is the sponsor of this years WSOP, and that the compliance date of the UIGEA is somewhere around the time of the Main Event in July, this should be the most exciting WSOP ever held.
