Following a move to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, the opening event of the 2005 WSOP attracted 2,305 entrants and created a prize pool of nearly $3.2 million. Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, Liz Lieu, and An Tran found themselves at the final table alongside WSOP bracelet winners Allen Cunningham and Scott Fischman as all eyes were on the $725,405 first-place prize.
