Picking up the action partway through the hand, Maximillen Piboule was all in and at risk against Jay Lockett.
Maximillen Piboule: A♦K♦
Jay Lockett: A♣Q♥
Piboule, though at risk, had his opponent dominated and was well placed to get a huge double. The 3♠6♣Q♠ flop immediately turned the tables on Piboule, who suddenly found himself on the ropes. The Q♦ turn put the nail in the coffin prior to the inconsequential 8♠ river as Piboule lifted his hands in frustration, his deep run ended by a bad beat.

Derek Brumbaugh moved all in for 1,350,000 from under the gun and was looked up by Nicholas Ronalds in the small blind.
Derek Brumbaugh: A♥9♠
Nicholas Ronalds: 10♦10♥
Brumbaugh was in rough shape and had one foot out the door after the flop came 9♦7♦10♣. The K♥ turn saw the at risk player get up from his seat and wish the rest of the table good luck before the 4♥ river completed the board.

Maureen Bloechlinger raised to 250,000 from early position and was called by Dinh Le in the small blind.
Christopher Perkins seized the opportunity to squeeze all in from the big blind for roughly 1,000,000 and after Bloechlinger folded, Le made the call.
Christopher Perkins: K♦K♥
Dinh Le: 8♥5♥
Le would need some help against the kings of Perkins, but the full runout of 3♣Q♦6♣10♣4♥ would not do so, giving Perkins the full double-up.

Unfortunately for her many fans, poker commentator Jamie Kerstetter was seen leaving the tournament area so it won't be her holding up the gold today.
In 2022, Katie Kopp started it off with a bang, winning Event #1: Casino Employees.

Sean Picquelle opened to 260,000 from early position and then, after asking for a count, called when Matthew Sesso moved all in for 1,700,000 on the button.
Matthew Sesso: 3♦3♠
Sean Picquelle: K♥K♠
As Picquelle turned over his hand, a ripple of disbelief passed through the table that he had taken so long to make the call. Nevertheless, he did have Sesso in dire straits, with no help coming for the small pocket pair on the 7♦4♠A♣ flop. The K♦ turn ensured there would be no sweat as the 3♥ river rubbed a little salt into the wound for Sesso.

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.

Jie Fu moved all in from under the gun and was called by a player to his left. The remaining players got out of the way to put Tang officially at risk.
Jie Fu: A♠9♠
Early Position: A♥K♣
Fu would need to get lucky to survive but suddenly found himself with a fighting chance after the flop came K♠7♣6♠ to give him the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the 3♦ turn but the 3♠ river was gin for Fu, handing him a full double.

Juan Pastor moved all in before the flop from early position and was called by Jorge Kiriakidis in late position.
Juan Pastor: 9♦9♥
Jorge Kiriakidis: A♠Q♠
Pastor would need to fade the overcards of Kiriakidis to stay alive, but the dealer delivered a queen on the flop of 10♦3♦Q♥ and Kiriakidis would hold from there on the 10♥ turn and the 5♣ river, sending Pastor to the payout desk.
