Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

All of the chips went into the middle creating a pot of 46,500 on the flop of K♠8♦3♠. Yannick van Overstraeten was at risk in the big blind against middle position who barely covered the Belgian.

Yannick van Overstraeten: 8♠8♣
Middle Position: A♠A♥

Van Overstraeten flopped a set of eights to crack middle position's pocket aces. The J♣6♠ completed the board and Van Overstraeten doubled up, but failed to collect a bounty.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With the board showing 9♠A♠10♥, Michael Divita’s opponent got his stack in, which Divita covered, to put his tournament life at stake.

Opponent: A♦10♦
Michael Divita: A♠J♦

Divita had the better ace, but was behind with his opponent flopping top two pair. Divita needed help, and the K♠ on the turn opened the door for a gut-shot straight draw, which gave Divita additional outs.

Then, J♥ on the river resulted in Divita having a better two pair to secure a come-from-behind win, which sent his opponent to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

All the chips went into the middle on the flop of 8♠6♥2♠, with the early position player at risk for 6,800. Mike Burns in the big blind covered their opponent.

Early Position: A♥K♥
Mike Burns: 10♠9♠

Early position was ahead with ace-high but Burns had a flush draw and a gutshot. The A♠ on the turn left early position drawing dead with the Q♦ completing the board. Burns took in the pot and, more importantly, a $500 bounty.

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.
