Raymond Chiu was looking at a 9♠7♦2♥ flop when he shoved all in from middle position for his remaining stack. His opponent in the big blind went into the tank before making the call.
Chiu turned over 7♠7♥
for a flopped set and his opponent had 9♣8♥. The K♠ turn and 2♣ river were no help for his opponent and Chiu secured a double up.

Action picked up when David Rivera was all in and called by the big stack of Clement Van Driessche.
Rivera turned over K♠K♣ and Van Driessche had A♦Q♣. The flop came out 5♠7♥9♠ and the Q♦ turn brought a little bit of a sweat but the 2♠ on the river meant that Rivera's kings held and he was able to double up.

"Bye! Bye-bye!" said Jugal Daterao jubilantly, while standing and waving to Martin Kabrhel. "Goodbye chip leader! Rebuy line is that way!"
Daterao had just sent Kabrhel to the rail after shoving on his opponent on a 8♠7♠4♠ flop. Kabrhel had called all in for his tournament life with 10♠9♣ for straight and flush draws, but was still behind to the A♠4♦ of Daterao.
The turn J♠ completed everyone's flush, but Daterao had made the nut flush to eliminate Kabrhel.
"Now we can all relax," said stablemate Phillip Cox, as a subdued Kabrhel headed for the rail.

Loni Hui open-shoved for her last 120,000 and was called by Konstantinos Tsikopoulos.
Loni Hui: J♣10♣
Konstantinos Tsikopoulos: A♣A♦
The 10♠9♣4♦ showed the beginnings of potential safety for Hui, and the 8♠ meant she was open-ended. However, the K♣ river bricked and she was eliminated.

In 2003, the game of poker changed forever after Chris Moneymaker topped a field of 839 players to win the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $2.5 million. By doing so, the Moneymaker effect ignited the “Poker Boom,” which saw the tournament field triple the following year.
The 2004 Main Event was the last to be held at the birthplace of the WSOP – Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. The venue was packed to the rafters with 2,576 players entering that year’s tournament, and with the ESPN cameras capturing all the action several poker players made a name for themselves that year including young guns David Williams and Josh Arieh, while 1995 WSOP Main Event champ Dan Harrington made history by following up his third-place finish in the 2003 WSOP Main Event by placing fourth in 2004 for $1.5 million.
However, when the dust settled it was a patent attorney from Connecticut by the name of Greg Raymer winning the whole thing for a smooth $5 million and a gold bracelet. While attempting to defend his title in 2005, which doubled from the year prior by attracting 5,619 players, Raymer proved his win was no fluke by making another deep run, ultimately falling in 25th place for $304,680.
It’s been 20 years since Raymer’s victory, but he hasn’t slowed down as he’s continued to play poker all across the globe. In recognition of Raymer’s anniversary, PokerNews caught up with the champ, who will be at the 2024 WSOP!
