Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Earl Barron stands tall in large field.
Earl Barron stands tall in large field.

We've spotted former NBA player Earl Barron in the field. In actuality, he was pretty easy to spot - he stands seven feet tall. He has a few WSOP cashes on his resume and a 4th place finish at the 2010 Gold Strike World Poker Open where he pocketed $33,896 for his effort.

Barron was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi and played his college ball at the nearby University of Memphis. He has spent time with six different NBA teams, including earning a NBA Championship ring with the Miami Heat in 2006.
