The World Series of Poker is the subject of a great many dreams. Some dream of winning a bracelet. Some dream of making a final table, sitting under the bright lights of "The Mothership" with friends and family in the stands. Some dream of merely participating in the most storied tournament in poker, happy to plunk down $10,000 and walk away with a story.
Ultimately, there is just one dream, though, and it's the dream that Chris Moneymaker proved in 2003 can become stark reality — to win the Main Event. Even for the players who hold on to the "lesser" dreams above, somewhere deep down in their poker souls, they still long to be the last man or woman standing in the WSOP Main Event.
