Poker Hall of Famer Jennifer Harman has seen the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in all of its iterations. Harman won two bracelets when the World Series played at Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas and made several final tables after the transition to Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in the mid-2000s.
Now, 27 years after her first WSOP final table in 1996, Harman finds herself at yet another World Series rendition at the rebranded Horseshoe Casino on the Strip. And while the golden U-shaped emblem outside the hotel is by and large the same, Harman said the modern venue doesn't compare to the WSOP's original home.
"It was such a cool atmosphere playing at Binion's; it's just nothing like that," Harman told PokerNews. "Now it's just like, you know, poker blew up and it's more ... it's still a really cool atmosphere, but it's just different. It's not a small room, musty, that kind of stuff. But it's still really cool. Poker's still really popular, so that's a pretty awesome thing."
PokerNews caught up with Harman last week as she played Day 1 of Event #25: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2023 WSOP to ask about her summer schedule, pick for the Poker Hall of Fame and her memories with the late Doyle Brunson.
The remaining players are now on their second 15-minute break of the day and will return shortly.
On a heads-up flop of 10♦Q♠K♦, Jared Jaffee and Thiago Franco got their entire stacks into the middle, with Jaffee at risk of elimination.
Jared Jaffee: A♦J♦
Thiago Franco: 10♣10♠
Jaffee had the better end of it with his flopped nut straight, but still had to fade the board pairing as Franco had a set of tens. The turn A♠ gave Franco some chop outs but the case A♣ on the river really did it as it gave him a full house to win him the pot, eliminating Jaffee.
Jaffee could do nothing but shake his head as he headed to the payout desk, while Franco is one of the chip leaders of the tournament with over 6,000,000.

Evan Cutler jammed from the hijack for 705,000. Anthony Lamps also shoved for 890,000 from the small blind. The big blind also made the call covering both players.
Evan Cutler: A♣J♥
Anthony Lamps: 6♦6♠
Big Blind: 8♣8♦
The big blind was ahead and was safe up to the turn with the board reading 9♠3♣2♥4♠. However, the big blind could not believe the J♠ river giving Cutler a higher pair and the main pot. Lamps was eliminated and the big blind took a 380,000 side pot.

After a preflop betting war, two big stacks Stacen Jones and Jimmy Setna got all of their chips into the middle, around 2,000,000 each, with Jones at risk.
Stacen Jones: 3♠3♦
Jimmy Setna: A♣K♣
The odds were very close in this pure flip, but the board of 4♠6♥2♠2♥2♣ ran out in Jones' favor to give him the smallest full house possible and he scored a huge double-up from Setna, whose jaw was still on the floor.

Bertrand Rosique moved all in from under the gun for 820,000. Gershon Distenfeld announced all-in from early position and had enough to cover everyone at the table. Max Neugebauer on Distenfeld's immediate left also moved all in for 2,650,000.
Bertrand Rosique: A♠3♠
Max Neugebauer: Q♣Q♦
Gershon Distenfeld: A♣A♥
Distenfeld was in good shape to knock two players out after the paired flop of J♥5♥5♠. However, Rosique went runner-runner after the 2♠K♠ completed the board to give them a flush. Rosique took the main pot of 2,600,000 while Distenfeld had to settle for the 3,600,000 side pot.

Casey Stewart raised 125,000 under the gun, and it escalated quickly.
A player at the cutoff flatted, and then Jared Jaffee three-bet on the button to 430,000. That wasn’t enough, though, as Thiago Franco, who was in the small blind, took one look at his cards and four-bet all in.
Stewart, who started it all and barely had Franco covered, then five-bet all in. The player who flatted Stewart’s original raise immediately folded, and then Jaffee got out of the way. The cards were then tabled.
Thiago Franco: K♣K♦
Casey Stewart: A♠K♠
The dealer fanned J♠10♦5♦ on the flop, keeping Thiago ahead but opening a gutshot straight possibility for Stewart. The 6♠ appeared on the turn and the 3♥ on the river cemented Franco’s winning hand, and the dealer pushed a massive pot his way.
Meanwhile, Stewart’s stack was decimated. He was left with 185,000 behind, and was sent to the rail on the very next hand in the big blind.

This @WSOP, for fun I’ve been tracking spots where me or my opponent are all-in and called at any point in the hand. My guess is that I should have around a 60% win percentage by the end of the series. The Monster was a wild ride and just busted in 265th. So far I’m 18-17-2 https://t.co/CG8EZT0I2n
