Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
An annual series of poker tournaments held mainly in Las Vegas since 1970, founded by Benny Binion at Binion s Horseshoe, awarding gold bracelets to event winners and culminating in the Main Event, a no-limit Texas hold em tournament with a 10000 US dollar buy-in, whose popularity surged after amateur Chris Moneymaker won in 2003; the series was owned by Caesars Entertainment from 2004 until its sale in 2024, and it has expanded to international and online events. Gambling can cause harm, and help is available from problem gambling services.
