Anniversary celebrations are always a big deal regardless of what is being celebrated, but when it is the 50th anniversary of anything, it has to be commemorated in very unique ways. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and already this celebration is anticipated to be one of the biggest events of the year<\/a> and in the history of the poker tournament.<\/p>\n With less than two weeks till the 50th Annual World Series of Poker kicks off, the organizers continue to add new and exciting events to the lineup. One of the most exciting additions includes the recently announced \u2018First Fifty Honors\u2019 dinner which will go down on June 29. The event will be hosted by WSOP commentators Lon McEachern and Norman Chad and will feature WSOP bracelet winners as well as a number of VIPs in the world of poker.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s only fitting we take an evening out from poker playing to celebrate the great game of poker and all the characters who have made a mark on the WSOP over the past five decades,” WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart commented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
