Best Live Poker Events In the World?

[LuckyLizzy]

I'm trying to write an article for my blog and I want it to be on the top 10 live poker events in the world.

I heard the Irish Poker Open is a huge favorite and I was thinking that the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure would be a good choice but I'm looking for more opinions. What do you all believe is the best live poker event in the world and why?

I would really appreciate the input I tried to post this in the poker area but I do not have permission. Since it is kinda poll like I figures I would post this here.

You choice doesnt need to be the biggest, just the events that are the most breathtaking in terms of atmosphere and stuff like that.

World Poker Tour is a major reason why poker boomed in the early 2000s; or more specifically, the televised WPT events. WPT is made up of a number of individual tournaments around the world. Players collect points in these events and at the end of the year, a WPT champion is crowned. This title has gone to poker celebrities such as Howard Ledered, Erick Lindgren and Daniel Negreanu.

I'd have to agree that the Vegas events have my vote....

If it wasn't for WPT poker would not be where it is today....

WPT is my favorite. I also enjoy watching High Stakes Poker and the late night poker on NBC.

All of them have been instrumental in the revival of the game when coupled with the availability of online poker to virtually anyone who wishes to play.

MTTs: irish open, WSOP ME, EPT MonteCarlo

anything w/ a 10k+ BI or a 1500+ field is usually good imo
