Sam Cohen, Javier Fernandez and Michael Marder have all been spotted in their seats.
Michael Marder should be riding high off his success here at the series already. He finished 3rd in the $2,500 a few days ago and it is his first time at the WSOP. He already has numerous cashes on the circuit, perhaps he can add another high finish to his resume.
