History in the Making?

[user10554]

This is Chad Brown's seventh cash of the WSOP, putting him only behind Michael Binger this year. Brown has several WSOP final tables to his credit, with two second-place finishes and a third. If he wins, this would be his first bracelet.

Erik Seidel is seeking his eighth career bracelet, which would him all alone into fifth place on the all time list, behind Hellmuth, Chan, Brunson, and Moss.
