Last year it was Mike Wattel who won his second WSOP bracelet, 18 years after his first, to deny Chris Ferguson in an epic heads-up battle. Twelve months later, the $10,000 Seven Card Stud event will get underway with a whole host of familiar faces expected to take to the felt.
With a field of 88 in 2017 and 87 in 2016, a small but highly talented group of stud players is expected when cards are in the air at 3 p.m. local time.
Here are the results from last year's final table:
| Place | Player | Prize (USD) |
|---|
| 1 | Mike Wattel | $245,451 |
| 2 | Chris Ferguson | $151,700 |
| 3 | Perry Friedman | $104,416 |
| 4 | Sean Mirrasouli | $73,810 |
| 5 | John Monnette | $53,621 |
| 6 | Bryce Yockey | $40,066 |
| 7 | Shaun Deeb | $30,817 |
| 8 | David Benyamine | $24,419 |
