The man sitting in second place on the all-time money list has just arrived at the Main Event. American pro Erik Seidel has US $33,105,082 in career live-recorded tournament earnings, just over US $1,000,000 behind Canadian poker legend Daniel Negreanu.
Seidel has the opportunity to claim the number one spot if he is able to make a deep run over the next three days. Stay tuned.
A bunch of players came through the doors at the break and have taken a seat. Former champions Koray Aldemir, Wai Kin Yong, and Manig Loeser are now seated along with yesterday's 6-Mac champion Stefan Schillhabel.
Luc Greenwood is also back in the mix becoming this afternoon's first player to re-enter.
Triton Poker co-founder Richard Yong and Poker King Club president Winifred Yu have joined the fray here on Day 1. The two poker pioneers completed their ceremony obligations and jumped in as soon as it was completed.
