John Monnette opened to 6,500 in the hijack and Dario Sammartino called out of the big blind shortly after Albert Daher joked that Sammartino's range consists exclusively of suited connectors.

"Have you seen him show down hands? It's all suited connectors!" laughed Daher.

Sammartino checked on the flop of 10♦2♠A♠ and Monnette continued for 6,000. Sammartino check-raised to 20,000 and Monnette called.

Sammartino checked on the J♣ turn and Monnette checked back. Sammartino then bet a small 15,000 on the K♠ turn and Monnette raised to 68,000. The Italian went in the tank and removed his yellow-tinted sunglasses before folding.

Jennifer Harman Remembers Doyle: "He Was Like a Marshmallow Puppy Dog to Me"

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.
