WSOP 2003 - History and Winner Details

 

The WSOP 2003 final table has yet again demonstrated the fact that any two cards can win the pot. Chris Moneymaker had 5Diamond 4Spade and Sam Farha at the opposite end was holding JHeart TDiamond. Really, Chris Moneymaker’s hand was not fruitful in comparison to his counterpart.  Initially, Farha was very aggressive and positive, and bet $100,000 from the small blind. Then Chris called, and the flop turned out to be JSpade 5Spade 4Club. Moneymaker had 2 pairs against Farha’s pair of Js. Chris later checked, Farha bet $175.000, and then he rasied. This was when Farha decided to move all-in, Chris called. Though the turn was blank ASpade, the river with its 4Heart giving Moneymaker the title of the 2003 World Champion.
