There have been plenty of exciting, history-making moments since ESPN expanded their World Series of Poker coverage in 2003. The dawn of poker on TV brought about instant classics such as Chris Moneymaker vs. Phil Ivey, Moneymaker’s bluff against Sammy Farha, Joe Hachem’s flopped straight, and Mike Matusow’s KK vs. AA. Thanks to the cameras these hands are etched in our minds, as are a few older hands like Johnny Chan’s slowplayed straight against Erik Seidel and Doyle Brunson’s back-to-back wins with Ten-Deuce.
