WSOP bracelet winners Michael Wang and Jared Hamby just entered the tournament, as did Nick Maimone.
Hamby won his bracelet in 2013 for $525,272 in a $1,500 no-limit hold'em tournament defeating a field of 2,161 players. Back in 2007 Hamby came very close to winning a World Poker Tour title when he finished runner-up in the Mandalay Bay Poker to Shawn Buchanan for $459,080.
Wang won his bracelet last year for $466,120 after defeating Bryn Kenney heads up in the $5,000 no-limit hold'em, and back in 2014 he finished second in the HPO Championship at the M Resort for $216,904.
Lastly, Maimone's had his share of results already this year, as he won the PCA $25,000 High Roller for $996,480, and back in 2009 he finished 15th in the WSOP Main Event for $633,022.
