Former Champs in the Field
It is still early in a limit tournament, which means big hands and exciting action is few and far between. With that said, we have spotted two former champs of this event in the field. Todd Witteles won this event back in 2005 after conquering 406 players. He won his first bracelet while also taking home the $347,385 first-place prize.
The other former champion is PokerStars Team Pro (Canada) Daniel Negreanu, who won in 2008. That was Negreanu's latest bracelet, bringing his total to four. He overcame a field of 479 runners to lay claim to the $204,863 first-place prize.
Both of these players will certainly be worth keeping an eye on.
