It was the year that iTunes debuted, Saddam Hussein was caught and, somewhat serendipitously, Chris Moneymaker started the national hold'em poker boom with his win at the 2003 WSOP. (That's right, serendipitously - look it up.)
And 2003 was also the year poker found a home in Atlantic City with the opening of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa - seems like only yesterday and a couple gazillion hands ago.
