This year is the 10th year anniversary of online poker. The development of online poker had a great repercussion in this cards game, which started to be more popular than ever thanks to the easy access provided by the online platforms.
Online poker was the easiest way for many people to start playing poker and also to improve their game technique.
A part from influencing the number of people who started to play poker, it also influenced the number of people who started to take part on live tournaments. The participation on these tournaments increased notably due to the satellite competitions that started to be celebrated in the main poker rooms. That meant that not only more people took part in those tournaments, but also that their prize pools become bigger than ever before.
A good example is the WSOP, whose prize pool before the online poker boom was $1 million and only a few years after increased to $10 million.
