And there were only 70 poker tables in the whole state of Nevada. Binions Horseshoe, the host casino, did not even have a poker room. The contest that would come to decide pokers first world champion was held inside an alcove about the size of an ordinary hotel room. Thirty or so gamblers shoehorned themselves around a few poker tables. They didnt know it at the time, but they were making poker history.
