The Poker Player's Championship is a $50,000 buy-in event at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Added in 2010, it replaced the former $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship as the highest-stakes mixed games event.[1] As of 2011, it is the highest-buy-in poker tournament featured at the WSOP. Unlike previous five-game rotation of H.O.R.S.E., The Poker Player's Championship features an eight-game rotation containing limit 2–7 triple draw lowball, limit Texas hold'em, limit Omaha/8B, limit razz, limit seven-card stud, limit seven card stud/8B, no limit Texas hold'em with antes and pot limit Omaha, in that order. The final table is played out exclusively in no limit Texas hold'em.[1]
