The Peril of Late Registering

Whenever a player late-registers for a tournament, they run the risk of being seated alongside other late registrants. Many of the game's best often late reg, including Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth, and every once in awhile it results in a stacked final table.

Case in point: Jim Ferrel. The elder statesman at Table 413 - who has two WSOP cashes for $39,605 - finds himself up against some stiff competition. Check it out:
