The 1975 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a series of poker tournaments held from May 6 to 10, 1975, at Binion's Horseshoe.
There were four preliminary events at the 1975 World Series of Poker. Moss became the first player in WSOP history to win five career bracelets. Future Poker Hall of Famer Billy Baxter won his first WSOP event in Event #3.
There were 21 entrants to the main event. Each paid $10,000 to enter the winner-take-all tournament. Roberts defeated Hooks heads-up with pocket jacks holding against a missed flush draw. Roberts and Hooks had agreed to split the first-place prize, which was unknown to Horseshoe owner Benny Binion.
Sailor Roberts was one of the six players at the original 1970 WSOP and part of the famous travelling trio with Doyle Brunson and Amarillo Slim.
