WSOP Attendance Is Up, Beer Pong Championship Won't Use Beer

The WSOP said Tuesday that its participation and prize pools so far were on pace to surpass last year’s record totals of 72,966 participants and more than $187.1 million in prize money.

Meanwhile, across the country in Atlantic City people will be flocking (Maybe that’s a strong word…) to Resorts Casino Hotel this weekend for the World Beer Pong Championship.

It’s cleaner and healthier.
