Tough Table Draw
The table right in front of the PokerNews desk is pretty stacked as we spotted the following players.
Michael Gathy has become one of the most successful Belgian players in a very short timespan, as the two-time bracelet winner now sits on the fourth place on their all-time money list. Gathy won his first during the 2012 WSOP in a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event followed by his second last year in the $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em.
Matt Woodward finished second in the 2009 EPT Grand Final for $1.7 million and he's made three WSOP final tables. In the 2006 WSOP Main Event he made a very deep run as well, finishing 95th out of 8,773.
Michael Benvenuti won the �1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the Master Classics of Poker in 2011 and finished second in the 2010 WPT Festa a Lago for $564,200.
Last but certainly not least, we've also spotted Russell Thomas. Thomas made the 2012 WSOP Main Event final table where he finished fourth for $2.8 million.
