Livello 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Lily Lotfy was out of position, but that didn’t stop her from bringing the heat.

On a board showing K♠K♥9♥, Lotfy led out with 800, which drew a call from an opponent to her immediate left.

The dealer then placed 5♣ on the turn, prompting Lotfy to bet 3,000, which her opponent called.

The J♣ appeared on the river. After a slight hesitation, Lotfy reached into her stack and counted out 9,000, which she bet. The continued aggression resulted in her opponent mucking his hand.

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Twenty years after his defining victory in the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event that ignited the Poker Boom, Chris Moneymaker came to Las Vegas looking to further his already cemented status as one of the most important figures in poker history.

Only 27 years old at the time, Moneymaker spun a $40 satellite victory into $2.5 million in perhaps the most memorable and consequential WSOP victory of all time. Now a household name in poker, Moneymaker has now put up a $50,000 buy-in — the biggest of his two-decade poker career — to play the prestigious WSOP Poker Players Championship for the first time at the 2023 WSOP.

PokerNews spoke with Moneymaker during Day 1 on June 18 as he battled against the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh and two-time defending champion Dan "Jungleman" Cates, all of whom were seated at the 2003 Main Event champion's table.
