A dozen players on the quest to become the latest Poker Players Champion will convene today for Day 4 of Event #58: $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the 2024 World Series of Poker at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The fourth of five days in the prestigious tournament will kick off at 2 p.m. local time inside the Horseshoe Event Center.
Still in contention is three-time PPC champion Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, the only remaining champion in the field who is looking for a fourth title and to join his brother, Robert Mizrachi, as a 2024 bracelet winner. Speaking of 2024 bracelet winners, $5,000 PLO and $10,000 Stud winners Bryce Yockey and James Obst are still alive as both look for their second bracelets of the summer.
The same is true for poker G.O.A.T. Phil Ivey, who broke a decade-long bracelet drought earlier this summer when he took down the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed) to move into second on the all-time bracelet list.
Daniel Negreanu is also looking to end a bracelet drought as poker's biggest ambassador and vlogger enters Day 4 toward the bottom of the counts. Meanwhile, high-stakes star Chris Brewer will look to maintain his dominant chip lead over other returning crushers like Jeremy Ausmus, Joao Vieira and old-school pro David Benyamine.

David Benyamine opened to 75,000 from the cutoff and Michael Mizrachi defended in the big blind.
The flop of 9♥10♦6♦ checked through and so did the Q♥ turn. Mizrachi checked again on the 8♣ river and Ausmus checked back before Mizrachi showed K♠J♣ for a slow-played straight.
Two hands later, Mizerachi opened to 65,000 on the button and Jeremy Ausmus defended in the big blind.
Ausmus checked on the flop of 3♠6♥4♥ and Mizrachi checked back. Ausmus then bet 55,000 on the J♦ turn and Mizrachi called. The 7♥ river completed the board and Ausmus sized up to 275,000. Mizrachi called.
Ausmus announced a straight and turned over 10♠5♠ as the Mizrachi mucked in defeat.

Seven Card Stud
James Obst: JxJx/A♥2♦10♦3♣/9x
Phil Ivey: XxXx/7♣3♦6♥4♥/Xx
James Obst completed and Phil Ivey called.
Obst continued to bet on fourth street with Ivey making the call.
Fifth street saw Obst bet once again but this time Ivey responded with a raise. Obst flatted.
Ivey continued his aggression with a bet on sixth street and, as before, Obst called.
There would be no cheap showdown for Obst as Ivey took one last stab at the pot on the river. Obst considered for a moment, then called, prompting Ivey to muck before Obst had tabled his hand.

In 2003, the game of poker changed forever after Chris Moneymaker topped a field of 839 players to win the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $2.5 million. By doing so, the Moneymaker effect ignited the “Poker Boom,” which saw the tournament field triple the following year.
The 2004 Main Event was the last to be held at the birthplace of the WSOP – Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. The venue was packed to the rafters with 2,576 players entering that year’s tournament, and with the ESPN cameras capturing all the action several poker players made a name for themselves that year including young guns David Williams and Josh Arieh, while 1995 WSOP Main Event champ Dan Harrington made history by following up his third-place finish in the 2003 WSOP Main Event by placing fourth in 2004 for $1.5 million.
However, when the dust settled it was a patent attorney from Connecticut by the name of Greg Raymer winning the whole thing for a smooth $5 million and a gold bracelet. While attempting to defend his title in 2005, which doubled from the year prior by attracting 5,619 players, Raymer proved his win was no fluke by making another deep run, ultimately falling in 25th place for $304,680.
It’s been 20 years since Raymer’s victory, but he hasn’t slowed down as he’s continued to play poker all across the globe. In recognition of Raymer’s anniversary, PokerNews caught up with the champ, who will be at the 2024 WSOP!
