We've spotted a few more familiar faces in the 200-plus player field today. Nachman "The Landlord" Berlin, Ahn Van Nguyen and Travell Thomas are scattered around the room, and Berlin has nearly doubled his stack already.
Berlin is best known for his exploits online, but he took second in a WSOP event in 2011 for $419,173, and also got some TV time during his deep run in the WSOP Main Event.
Van Nguyen is a former PokerStars Pro with more than $700,000 in live tournament earnings on his resume. The Toronto native's biggest score came in 2007 when he won a World Poker Tour event at Bellagio for $303,320.
Thomas is somewhat of a legend here in Western New York. In 2010, he was named the Seneca Niagara Poker Player of the Year. He's certainly someone we'll be keeping an eye on here as he loves to mix it up.
