At the 2023 World Series of Poker, poker player Cody Daniels inspired the poker community with his strength and determination when taking on Poker's World Championship while battling a terminal illness.
This summer, the Lake Havasu City native returned to the WSOP, first playing Event #70: $400 Colossus before hopping into the record-breaking 2024 WSOP Main Event. Daniels managed to navigate the bubble, which burst earlier in the afternoon, and currently sits with a stack of 300,000 (25 big blinds) at the halfway point of Day 4.
In the midst of his pursuit of the WSOP Main Event bracelet and the $10 million first-place prize, PokerNews caught up with the 29-year-old. Daniels shared his experiences, emotions, and the extraordinary support he's received throughout his journey.

Jonathan Tamayo raised to 100,000 and Yiannis Liperis three-bet jammed his short stack of 340,000 in the hijack. Casey Stewart then moved all-in over the top in the cutoff and everyone behind including Tamayo folded.
Yiannis Liperis: A♥Q♥
Casey Stewart: Q♣Q♦
The A♣7♠4♥ flop instantly delivered an improvement for Liperis, who only had to fade the case queen in the deck. Nothing changed with the 9♣ turn and 10♦ river for Liperis to more than double.
