This event is relatively young when it comes to the WSOP, dating back only to 2008; however, the list of players who've won in the past is quite impressive. In fact, Rami Boukai is looking to win this very event for the second time in three years.
In addition, this event has grown in popularity year in and year out. Compared to last year's field, the 2001 event saw 124 more runners. Not too shabby!

Action folded to James Vanneman on the button and he wasted little time in raising to 18,000. Eugene Du Plessis was in the small blind and looked as if he were pondering a move.

Du Plessis had flopped top pair with an open-ended straight draw, but he was behind the jacks and bigger open-ended draw of Vanneman. The turn changed absolutely nothing, and neither did the river. Vanneman's jacks held to send Du Plessis to the rail in 19th place.
