Athanasios Polychronopoulos (Seen Here Showing Off His Second Gold Bracelet)

Two of poker's young guns are in the house, as two-time bracelet winner Athanasios Polychronopoulos and Jesse Sylvia are here after late registering.

We passed by Polychronopoulos' table long enough to catch him drop a small pot, after he called a river bet with the board reading {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Polychronopoulos mucked when his opponent tabled the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for top pair, but the damage was only a dent, and he still has plenty of chips left to get things going in the right direction.
