Lee Davy brings you updates from the World Series of Poker Main Event as nine players battle it out for the title of poker’s Champion of the World and $8m in prize money.

The greatest poker tournament in the world is the graveyard of so many wonderful stories.

Doyle Brunson winning consecutively in 1976 & 77 with the same winning hand of ten-deuce is one of them. Stu Ungar doing the same in 1980 & 1981 is another. His return, 16-years later, to win a third, is probably the most incredulous of them all. The Comeback Kid was dead within a year.

In 1982, Jack Strauss had a chip, a chair, and a few days later $520,000 and the title that all poker players covet. A year later, and Tom McEvoy became the first player to take it down after qualifying via a satellite.
