CONTEST: Poker Tornaments

Hi again Up'n'Comers!

Thought you might be ready for another money contest before getting into heavier things, so I decided to make this contest one you can learn from. I'm sure you have already learned that there is no end to learning when it comes to poker. AND "learning" = "education" AND poker educated = poker champions.

This is another one of those contests where you can make one of two choices: You can choose to just copy what someone else has posted, in the hope of being lucky and winning some money. OR you can choose to use your search engines or other references and read what it says along with the answer, therefore putting yourself far ahead in your poker education, compared to those who chose the first-mentioned choice. So it is up to you! Your choice, as it forms my personal evaluation of you, may or may not be of any importance to you. Either is fine and strictly your freedom.

Prize to the winner: $30

Deadline to post your answers here: June 29

Same as usual rules.

All members of Poker-Crush are invited and encouraged to enter!

To enter: Post your numbered answers below in this same thread (remember the contest title).

Your PokerGuru wishes you, one and all, good learning!!!!!

1. There are always many poker tournaments going on everywhere and anytime since poker has joined the world of bigtime sports. Which tournament is generally considered to be poker's most prestigious one?
