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.
William Haffner raised to 75,000 in first position and action folded around to Jon Shoreman who called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 8♥5♥3♠ and Shoreman checked over to Haffner who bet 185,000. Shoreman called.
Shoreman checked the 10♠ turn and Haffner bet 655,000. Shoreman called.
On the 7♦ river, Shoreman moved all in and Haffner called.
Jon Shoreman: A♦9♣7♥6♠2♦
William Haffner: A♥Q♥9♦6♣4♣
Both players rivered the ten-high straight, but the nut low held strong for Shoreman to take three quarters of the pot.
