Unlucky #13

[user38971]

With only 776 entries to today's event, it's of no real surprise that many of the professionals within the field will find themselves seated with other professionals.

However, what is a rarity, is when Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, and Lee Watkinson all end up at the same table, aptly table #13. We're only playing nine handed, so rest assured the other five players aren't feeling too lucky right about now.
