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.
After just a little over six hours of play, "suited_h13" came out on top in WSOP Online Event #6: $500 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo to net the first-place prize of $134,527 along with a coveted gold WSOP bracelet. They defeated "Suplex7" in a short-lived heads-up affair with "MTTWarrior" rounding out the top three.
The 1,879 strong field generated a prizepool of $845,550 that was split amongst the top 289 finishers, each of whom secured a minimum of $760.99. Yong Keun "LuckySpewy1" Kwon was the last individual not to see a return on their investment after getting knocked out in 290th place.
Play increased in pace as the day wore on and the blinds became more and more expensive. As a result, it did not take long for the final table of eight to be set with the elimination of Ioannis "Cheeecha" Angelou Konstas in 9th place when their ace-queen failed to connect.

Final Table Action
Jonathan "Art.Vandelay" Dokler was the first out the door at the final table when his tens came up short against the big slick of Adam "Demerssa" Demersseman.
Next to go was James "ohhhhjaybird" Hundt alongside Demersseman after they both ran into the jacks of eventual winner "suited_h13".
Robert "Binkwen" Nelson was sent to the rail in 5th place after getting rivered by a rampant "suited_h13" who promptly followed that up by ousting "Duci13" in 4th place.
Not long after, "MTTWarrior" hit the showers, their dominated ace failing to get lucky against "suited_h13".
That setup a heads-up match between "suited_h13" and "Suplex7" with the former starting with a sizable chip lead. As with the rest of the final table, it did not take long for a winner to be crowned with "Suplex7" unable to mount a comeback, instead forced to settle for a not too shabby $83,202 consolation prize.
"suited_h13" was left to claim a gold WSOP bracelet to go along with a six-figure score. Congratulations to them on their victory!
