History in the Making

We've got quite a table going over in the corner of the room at Orange 63. Four players in particular have a noteworthy history here at the Rio. Greg Mueller was recently moved over to this table, taking his seat two spots down from Steve Billirakis. You may remember the very first event of the 2007 WSOP, the $5,000 Mixed Hold'em event that was broadcast on ESPN. Billirakis won it, making him the youngest bracelet winner ever; Mueller had to settle for runner up.

That's not the only pair of one-two finishers we have at that table. Fu Wong played this same event last year, taking home more than $250,000. That was only good for second place though. The man three seats down from him, Eric Brooks was the only man who bested him, pocketing more than $415,000 and topping Wong for the bracelet.
