There are times where, while wandering through the different rooms at the Rio All-Suit Hotel & Casino during the Main Event, we bump into familiar faces that at rarely spotted at the World Series of Poker. This is the biggest, most prestigious poker tournament of the year, and even the player that no longer grind as frequently as they once did feel the need to come to Las Vegas, plop down 10 dimes, and battle it out for the ultimate poker crown.
We've just spotted one of those familiar faces; 2009 November Niner Kevin Schaffel.
Schaffel, who finished eighth in the 2009 Main Event for just over $1.3 million, hasn't cashed in a live poker tournament since the 2012 WSOP, but he's here looking to make another deep run. He nearly has three times the starting stack with 84,000, and is a favorite to bag an above average stack at the end of Day 1b.
