One of the remaining 58 players in the field is Matt Graham, or should we say multiple bracelet winner Matt Graham.
Graham is currently sitting with approximately 130,000 in chips and looking to score his third World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Back in 2008, Graham defeated Jean-Robert Bellande to win the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout. He had to come back from a massive chip deficit during heads-up play in order to do so and claim the $278,180 first-place prize. One year later, Graham scored his second piece of WSOP jewelry and a lot more cash after he won the $10,000 World Championship Pot-Limit Omaha event for $679,402. The final table he defeated included Vitaly Lunkin, Van Marcus, Josh Arieh and Barry Greenstein.
After being a regular for quite some time on the poker circuit, Graham decided to take a break from poker. He's back now -- at least for this event -- and making a very deep run in this 2,500-player field. He has ten WSOP cashes and earned over one million from WSOP events alone. In total, Graham holds nearly $1.8 million in live tournament earnings.
