There are a bunch of notable names already in the field. Among them is the "Robin Hood of Poker," philanthropist and Poker Hall of Famer Barry Greenstein. Greenstein has three bracelets and 99 WSOP and circuit cashes. Could this tournament be his 100th?

Those two are not the only bracelet winners in the room, as Niall Farrell and Michael Gagliano are also in the running. Meanwhile, Thomas Boivin and Cole Jackson are both here, too, looking to win their first.
