Main Event
There were 2,576 entrants to the Main Event – more than three times the number of the previous year. The rise in popularity among the 2004 Main Event and some preliminary 2004 WSOP events could be attributed to the coverage of Chris Moneymaker's victory from the prior year. Each entry paid $10,000 to enter, with the top 225 players finishing in the money. Many entrants, including the overall winner, won their seat in online poker tournaments. 1995 Main Event champion Dan Harrington made the final table for the second consecutive year. His bid for a second main-event title came up short once again as he finished in fourth place. Final table • Career statistics prior to the beginning of the 2004 Main Event.
