“Listen, here’s the thing: If you can’t spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.” No movie breathes poker quite like John Dahl’s Rounders, and what Dahl and Matt Damon’s character knew is that there’s nothing superior in the poker world than the WSOP. Throughout June and July, 100,000 players will set foot in the Rio Casino in Las Vegas hoping for their shot at the coveted WSOP bracelet. 73 events will be played, all leading up to the $10,000 main event, the biggest poker tournament in the world. Many fail and very few succeed, but everyone shares in the dream of sitting at that final table. It doesn’t get much better than this and here are 5 of ManScore’s top moments in WSOP history.

Chris Moneymaker Turns $86 Into $2.5 Million
There’s no denying that the 2003 Main Event champion, Chris Moneymaker, changed the game of poker forever. Often referred to as the “Moneymaker Effect,” Chris showed the world that any average Joe could win the greatest tournament on felt. Earning his seat through an $86 online satellite tournament, Moneymaker turned a small investment into a first-place prize of $2.5 Million. Not to mention, his heads-up bluff on Sam Farha is without a doubt one of the boldest moves in WSOP history.

Joe Cada Becomes Youngest Main Event Winner
Just try to imagine what you would’ve done with $8,546,435 at the age of 21…Well, lucky for Joe Cada, he had lots of time to ponder this after his 2009 Main Event win. Entering the final table 5^th in chips, Cada found himself with only 1.2% of the chips in play after the 122^nd hand. Not to be outdone, Cada went all-in twice pre-flop with a small pocket pair and each time was the underdog. He hit sets in both of those hands and was able to climb his way back to the top, ultimately winning the heads-up battle with Darvin Moon. To this day, he still holds the record for youngest main event winner, a feat he is surely to hold for a long time to come.

Johnny Chan’s Famous Slow Play
Rounders made this hand from the 1988 WSOP famous, but many still argue that it is the defining hand of poker. Defending 1987 champion, Johnny Chan, simply out played Eric Seidel and showed the world that poker isn’t just about luck. Okay, hitting a straight on the flop heads-up is pretty lucky, but the way he slow played the hand and baited Seidel into pushing his stack in was pure skill. Also, do you know how hard it is to win one main event, let alone two in back-to-back years? Show someone this video if they ever tell you that poker isn’t a skill game.

Greg Merson’s Emotional Win
2012’s tournament belonged to Greg Merson, the 2012 WSOP Player of the Year, Six Handed No-Limit World Champion, and Main Event champion. Emotions were flowing for Merson, who had recently become sober, overcoming a drug addiction and revitalizing his life. Here at ManScore, we tip our caps to any man who is actively working to better their life and become the best version of themselves. This one is special.

Scotty Nguyen’s Famous Line
Fleeing the Vietnam conflict and coming to America broke at the age of 14, Scotty Nguyen burst onto the poker scene in 1985, gaining recognition from many famous pros. Years of ups and downs (including losing his $1 million bankroll) cumulated with his famous 1998 Main Event win and one of the most famous poker lines ever spoke. With a full house on the board (8c-9d-9h-8h-8s), Nguyen shoved and told his opponent, Kevin McBride, “You call, it’s gonna be all over baby!” McBride called, saying he played the board and Nguyen flipped over 9c-Jd for the better full house and a spot in poker history.

Bonus: The Improbable Bad Beat
Bad beats are a part of poker but none sting more than this hand from the 2008 Main Event. You can’t help but feel for Mabuchi, ending his WSOP with quad aces…To put it in perspective, this hand only happens 1 in 2.7 billion times.
