Day 3 of the WSOP Main Event starts with just over 100 gamers remaining. Two-time Centerpiece winner Johnny Chan sits at the feature table with Howard Lederer and Paul Darden, but it is Chris Moneymaker making moves under the intense lights as he sends out a legend to the rail.

WSOP 2003 Main Event | Day 3 with Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan & Chris Moneymaker
Lol Lederer on that FullTilt free-roll, no pressure
Full Tilt didn’t exist in 2003
Impressive seeing Howard playing with his hands in other players pockets
Wow Howard Lederer must have thought Paul Darden was the tightest player on the planet.
Ah back when folding AK to a preflop Jam was “standard”
Those same guys from this era play it the same way lmao. Won’t 3b just call to make a pair
The Lederer family throwing away AQs and AK pre-flop to single raises… Good stuff.
I wonder how well this Moneymaker guy is going to do in the rest of the tournament…😊
He might cash 💰
There’s no way to know.
He sure got lucky and hasnt won a cent since maybe a couple of cashes here and there but it gos to show you anybody can win just look at jamie gold he was the worst player in history and still won it
@@jasonlinton9902 There’s a lot of outright luck in tournaments, especially as the field size goes up. Gold had Johnny Chan coaching him all the way through as well. But regardless of that, you still need a metric ton of luck: Your hands have to hold (flips) and you need to get lucky against better hands. Your bluffs have to work, etc. Gold is awful.. I remember they destroyed him on High Stakes Poker and were making fun of him. He also tried to cheat Johnny Chan out of his stake. Johnny literally walked with him to the cage after he won. And even after all of that, he somehow went broke.
Johnny folding an O-E SF draw on the flop to one bet is peak 2003 poker
I know right! So tight
He probably put his opponent on the ace of clubs which is the blocker that drastically diminished the strength of his hand. But you’re right. That hand isn’t getting folded today. No way no how.
Chan just knew how many fish was at the table… He wasn’t trying to draw… But 100% that’s a call
Lederer was known as a rock in those days, leading in to 3 people in 2003 is like saying you have the nuts or, as others have mentioned, at least the Ac.
How does annie duke fold AK suited to an all in lol
I know this was a new format of covering the WSOP, but it’s funny how they foreshadow Moneymaker’s success as if they don’t know he’s going to win.
We’ve been rewatching it at the office as well and it really feels like you’re watching a documentary!
@@PokerGO Yeah, documentary/reality show. It couldn’t be covered like this forever, but it was way more entertaining before networks decided to cover it more like a sport. 20 years ago it was more like “wow, look at these goofballs gambling for millions of dollars.” Analytics made poker and baseball less fun IMO.
@@seancosgrove1 By 2005, players became far too aware of the cameras and it was becoming pretty obvious when someone was mugging for the camera to get attention, not much sincerity, and became stale pretty quickly. By 2007, it was pretty clear that they needed to phase out this style of poker coverage, and in a few years, it was gone. Blaming “analytics” and the quality of play improving is pretty silly.
one of the classic moments in poker that moneymaker stare down when he didnt know he was in the hand
buddy i said to myself “it would be cool if i go to the comments and a comment like that would be the first” – it was 😍
btw Haverson’s Reaction is priceless too 🤣
Using their techniques on them … lol
You know Chan is the best player at the table, because he’s the one who realizes Chris doesn’t know he’s in the hand.
31:53 I’ve seen this 100 times I’ve never seen that finger shake when he pulls back his chips haha
Someone at ESPN forgot about Barbara Enright making the final table in 1995.
I read it as 2023 and was so confused the entire time
1:58 “Not sure how well this random person I name but don’t show is gonna do in this tournament” he says recorded months after his win LUL
I love how there were 2 buttons in the hand at 7:55 when Chan supposedly got a walk. Editing room out here running bluffs of their own.
Great catch. They really tried to make Johnny Chan quite the character during this event. An immortal…
Btw, Lon and the other guy announcer are both the stupidest people on earth. Their commentary is just horrendous. It’s amazing that they have been able to continue this gig…what a donation.
@@andrewgrant2948
Lon is only calling the plays. Norman Chad is supposed to know about the game but doesn’t.
That’s not a walk. He brought it in for a raise.
Chris confirmed in his run it back video of the main event it was heavily edited. Like when Dutch Boyd asked chris to take off his glasses was spliced in from a different hand.
Legend says Scotty Nguyen is still waiting for that handshake at 1:28:25
amazing comment lol
It’s amazing how much the game has evolved. So many people learned the game by watching these episodes when they aired originally and they were taught what would be considered pretty terrible play by today’s standards. Hardly any 4-bets and SO many questionable folds to 3-bets.
Back then a 3-bet only ever meant AK/QQ+ and a 4-bet meant KK+. So it’s understandable making such folds back then.
I know i did i would sit back and play online tournaments on party poker and rewind these episodes over and over then put on the movie rounders when i was playing it was a blast
0:32 “Thank You Jesus”😂😂😂
Fun to watch these legends when they were younger. And to see Moneymaker had way more than his share of luck.
Nostalgia overload! Truly the golden era.
The game has changed so much in 20 years.
