Excitement is building around the Rio as Tom Dwan is a mere eight eliminations away from his first WSOP bracelet. That being said, quite a formidable field of very strong players are also in contention to take down one of the biggest events of the year.
Fabrice Soulier is a French professional poker player with over $2,000,000 in tournament winnings. Soulier has 17 WSOP cashes to his name, 18 counting today's cash. In 2009 Soulier finished 7th place in the WSOP $1,500 H.O.R.S.E Event as well as an impressive 49th place in the Main Event.
From Lincoln, California, Jacobo Fernandez has over $1,700,000 in tournament poker cashes and also stands in contention for the bracelet today. Although Fernandez does not own a bracelet, he has come close several times, most notably in 2008 when he came in 4th place in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Event and 3rd place in a $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event.
Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia is Shawn Buchanan. Buchanan took down the World Poker Tour Mandalay Bay Poker Championship in 2007 and holds over $3,300,000 in tournament cashes to his name. He has had an impressive 2011 WSOP thus far, with three deep cashes including 20th place in $2,500 8 Game and 22nd place in $ 2,500 10 Game/Six Handed.

Since then he's been able to garner an impressive $6,500,000 in tournament winnings and take down the 2008 WSOP Circuit Event - Lake Tahoe. Although he holds a Circuit Event championship he is yet to capture a gold bracelet, and is in a good standing to do so today.
Max Pescatori is an Italian professional poker player who holds two WSOP bracelets to his name. He has over $3,000,000 in tournament winnings and an impressive 25 cashes at the WSOP. This event marks Pescatori's fourth cash in 2011.

Andrey Zaichenko has eight WSOP cashes and over $700,000 in lifetime tournament winnings. His most recent cash occurred when he came in 5th during this year's $ 2,500 Limit Hold'em - Six Handed Event. If Zaichenko is able to win today, he will take home his first WSOP bracelet.
