[Removed:139] from the 2018 WSOP
[Removed:139] from the 2018 WSOP

[Removed:139] is in the field. The PokerNews Podcast co-host and commentator for PokerGO is in the field, making his first visit to a RGPS stop.

He has $277,859 in live tournament winnings to go with an impressive broadcasting resume. Platt's best two live cashes were from the WSOP Main Event in 2014 and 2015, with his biggest live cash coming in 2015 when he finished 60th in the WSOP Main Event.

Platt will continue to co-host the PokerNews Podcast and will likely be a strong presence on the PokerGo broadcast team for all the WSOP events this year. For now, he's trying to break the $300,000 live tournament winnings mark with a win here at the RGPS Kansas City Main Event.
