KaleGozer

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Over at Table 38, David Peters has taken his seat in this tournament. Arguably one of the best tournament players in the world, Peters was finally able to cross a WSOP bracelet off his bucket list by winning this event last year.

Peters topped a field of 1,860 entries to claim the first-place prize of $412,557. With over $17M in lifetime winnings, the defending champion will have all eyes on his as he shoots for his second gold bracelet.

Other notables have recently taken their seats as well, including seven-time bracelet winner Men "The Master" Nguyen who moments ago busted the "Monster Stack."
