Bracelet Winners Reunite

Mansour Matloubi and Toto Leonidas aren't household poker names, but this doesn't take from the fact that they are world-class tournament players.

London-based Iranian Matloubi took down the 1990 WSOP main event and took with that the claim of first non-American to be crowned champion. Over the last decade Matloubi has decreased his tournament participation but still has earnings in excess of US$1,900,000.

Leonidas is flirting with US$3,000,000 in lifetime tournament earnings with his most prized feat coming in the 2003 WSOP $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Event for close to US$100,000.

Both players are seated on each side of the dealer in today's tournament and will be putting their many years experience to the test.
