Nick Schulman and Tony Gregg, nicknamed "The Takeover" and "The End Boss" respectively just strolled into the Signature Room at Borgata, and both players tout extremely impressive résumés.

Schulman, who has over $7.1 million in career live tournament earnings, is widely considered one the best - if not thee best - no-limit deuce-to-seven players in the world. The New York native won the WSOP 2-7 World Championship twice in four years (2009 and 2012), and finished fifth in 2011. Schulman's largest cash came on the World Poker Tour, when he took down the WPT World Poker Finals in 2005 for over $2.1 million.

Gregg is also a member of the WPT Champions Club, winning the WPT Parx Open last season for $416,127. His biggest victory came last summer at the WSOP, where he won the One Drop High Roller for $4,830,619. Gregg also finished runner-up in the 2009 PCA Main Event, earning $1.7 million.

As late registrants, there's a good chance these two players will be seated with one another, which could make for some awesome poker.
