David Oppenheim has just taken his seat in today's tournament and has replaced Steven Gee on the table of death on table 364.
Oppenheim - who has three WSOP final tables and eight WSOP cashes - has fallen close twice previously taking 3rd in a 2007 Seven Card Stud and 2010 Poker Players Championship.
Today however may give him his best chance to win a bracelet as this field is most likely to close in the double digits for entrant numbers.

When it comes to poker legends, Doyle Brunson stands above the rest. With 10 World Series of Poker gold bracelets and a pioneer in the game, the man they call "Tex Dolly" doesn't get to play much tournament poker these days because of the wear and tear that the long, strenuous days put on his body. Despite that, Brunson has made it out to the largest buy-in razz poker tournament ever held.
With $93,000 in live tournament earnings from razz-only events — which came from a bracelet victory in 1998 — Brunson is 29th on the WSOP's All-Time Razz Money List.
Now while Brunson may stay away from the Rio more so than he is in here playing day in and day out during the hot Vegas summer, the "Godfather of Poker" did manage a deep run in the last year's Main Event, finishing 409th out of 6,352 players. While that feat isn't quite as prominent as his two Main Event victories from 1976 and 1977, lasting several days in the most mentally and physically taxing poker tournament in the world at the age of 80 is one heck of an amazing accomplishment. Earning $28,063 isn't too bad, either.
He may not be able to play 30 or 40 events at the WSOP anymore, but it's a real treat to see such a living legend stay involved when he can — especially in the big buy-in tournaments that mean the most.
