The first tournament to reach a million dollar prize pool was the 1983 WSOP Main Event. With the exception of 1992, the US$10,000 buy-in tournament increased in prize pool year-over-year from its start in 1970 until 2007 (the latter a result of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which reduced the number of players winning their seats via online play). For the last several years, the largest tournament in the world has been the World Series of Poker Main Event.
