Foxen has been drawn on the same table as 2013 WSOP Main Event Champion, Ryan Riess. Riess bagged 26,650,000 and will be sitting on Foxen’s left. Riess and Foxen know each other quite well, so it will be interesting to see the dynamics between these two world-class players. The other players on the table are Jamie Nixon, Michael Kane, Eirimas Livonas, Jason Wong, Colin Lovelock, and Greig Cushnie.
partypoker pro Kristen Bicknell collected 27,725,000 yesterday and will be sharing her table space with players like Katie Swift who finished in seventh place last year in this exact event, Tom White, Tyler Goatcher, Asif Raja, Gavin Chamberlain, Richard Kellett, and Ryan Plant.
Fellow partypoker pro Patrick Leonard won’t have a quiet day as he’s been drawn that will definitely not lack any chatting as fellow Brit, Sam Grafton is seated on his left. Also drawn on the table are Mitchell Johnson, Richard Hare, Nathan Watson, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas, Anton Siden, and Andrew Booth. Based on that selection, this should be a fun table to follow.
Irish poker legend, live and online, Dara O’Kearney is seated at the same table as Fadil Isufi who finished second in the chip counts last night. With 20 big blinds, O’Kearney will be looking to win some chips early on to give him to more room to show his skills off. Defending champion, Maria Lampropulos only bagged eleven big blinds and is seated with Day 2 chip leader, 2018 WSOP Main Event ninth place finisher, Antoine Labat and Dominik Panka.
