1

The 1974 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a series of poker tournaments held from May 6 to May 11, 1974 at Binion's Horseshoe.

Preliminary events

There were five preliminary events in the 1974 World Series of Poker. Casella became the first player in WSOP history to win the first two events of a single World Series.

Main Event

There were 16 entrants to the $10,000 buy-in winner-take-all Main Event. Johnny Moss became the first player in WSOP history to win the Main Event three times, a feat only matched by Stu Ungar in the 1980, 1981, and 1997 Main Events. Moss's third Main Event title was a result of a four-hour heads-up duel with Crandell Addington.
