We're telling you, the field was packed with familiar faces. So much so that we didn't even notice bracelet winner Chance Kornuth in the room until just a moment ago. You know, the guy who won a half-million dollars and the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha title?
All right, here's a picture to jog your memory. Kornuth looks like he intends on keeping himself notable here this evening, becoming the first player we've seen to cross the 100,000-chip mark.
