2004 World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Main Event - Ep5 Part 4/5

The 2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was held at Binion's Horseshoe after Harrah's Entertainment purchased the casino and the rights to the tournament in January. Harrah's announced that future WSOP tournaments will be held in a moving circuit of member casinos.

There were 2,576 entrants to the main event. Each paid $10,000 to enter what was the largest poker tournament ever played in a brick and mortar casino at the time. Many entrants, including the overall winner, won their seat in online poker tournaments.

Naked aggression is a winning strategy for Texas Hold'em, but by God I'm glad Raymer isn't naked!

That hand with Raymer and Murphy in which Murphy takes a big pot off of Raymer with a semi bluff would've crippled a lot of players, and perhaps tilted them a bit.

Raymer's ability to move past Matusow's taunting, and that hand without losing stride is a testament to his strong mental capacity which is a big part of a long tournament like this.

His character was a big part in him winning it all. That and the fact that he won every race

@meltdownup Yeah, perhaps but it's a good laydown by Murphy, Raymer raised, and then 3 bet. Murphy's JJ could've easily been dominated by QQ, KK, or AA. If Murphy goes all in and Raymer calls, Murphy would've lost a lot of his stack had he lost to Raymer

Ivey play golf this bad and wants to bet 50K a hole?? what a sick gambler...

[meltdownup]

John Murphy could have shoved right there with the jacks and Raymer would have definitely called. That may have ended Raymer's tournament right there.
