One of the most heartwarming storylines of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) emerged today as the father-daughter duo of Amanda Botfeld and David Botfeld made the money of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship.
Amanda Botfeld, a poker writer and author of 2020's A Girl's Guide to Poker, announced on Twitter that she and her dad had made it to the money in poker's most prestigious event. The tweet included a photo of the two locked in a loving embrace, no doubt happy to have secured a payday of at least $15,000.

The poker author's tweet came shortly after the trio of Yue Qi Wang, Peter Nigh, and Jeppe Bisgaard were all eliminated on the Main Event money bubble.
Phung Ngo bet for 800,000 from under the gun. The cutoff and big blind both found a call.
The flop came 6♠Q♥3♦, and Julien Montois quickly checked from the big blind. Ngo continued for 1,400,000, and Kfir Nahum folded from the cutoff. Montois also folded for Ngo to take down the pot.

Christian Cooper moved all in for 1,500,000 from the cutoff and was called by Richard Turhim on the button, Thomas Blanton on the small blind, and Peter Kaemmerlen in the big blind.
The flop came A♥10♠4♦ and Blanton moved all in for 4,900,000 and was called by Kaemmerlen. Turhim decided to fold and the three involved players turned over their cards.
Christian Cooper: K♠6♠
Thomas Blanton: A♠4♠
Peter Kaemmerlen: A♣J♥
Blanton flopped two pair and was ahead of Cooper and Kaemmerlen. The 4♥ boated up Blanton and the 8♠ completed the board.
The journey ends for the aspiring vlogger Cooper who has secured his highest-ever recorded cash for $21,020, while Blanton moves back into contention for the WSOP Gold Bracelet.
