The 2001 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was held at Binion's Horseshoe.

Preliminary events

There were 25 preliminary bracelet events at the 2001 World Series of Poker.

Main Event

There were 613 entrants to the main event. Each paid $10,000 to enter, with the top 45 players finishing in the money. It was the largest poker tournament ever played in a non-online casino at the time. The 2001 Main Event was the first tournament in history to pay out at least $1,000,000 to two players. Phil Hellmuth made the final table and looked to become a two-time Main Event champion, but fell short in fifth place.
