World Series of Poker

Main Event (2000x1)

Air date: May 23, 2000

The 31st Annual World Series of Poker Main Event would see a huge 512-entrant field set aside $1.5 million for the eventual 2000 World Champion. Chris Ferguson entered the final table with over half the chips in play as James McManus, Roman Abinsay, Steve Kaufman, Hasan Habib, and T.J. Cloutier were all looking to chase down "Jesus" to capture the crown and the biggest first-place prize in poker history.
