Samantha Cohen, Hollywood Producer and World Poker Tour (WPT) Season 11 Player of the Year Matt Salsberg, David “Raptor” Benefield - who qualified for the Main Event Final Table at last year’s WSOP - and William Reynolds are just a few other of the big names still in contention in the event.
Moving over to Event #30: Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or Better where Calvin Anderson will attempt to finally secure his very first WSOP gold bracelet. Anderson is widely recognized as one of the best tournament players in the World, either live on online. He also plays all the games, and plays them well. A bracelet is surely not far off for the Oklahoma pro.
Ted Forrest, who recently defeated Phil Hellmuth in order to earn his sixth career WSOP gold bracelet, is one of the other 11 remaining players who will attempt to stop Anderson from winning his first later today at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino.
