In 2017, James Calderaro won his first WSOP bracelet when he defeated the 205-entrant field to collect the $1,289,074 first-place prize.
Amazingly, last year Calderaro nearly went back-to-back as he finished in fourth-place for $414,134. Calderaro has now just taken his seat in today's tournament and will be looking to become one of the few players to make three consecutive final tables in the same event at the WSOP.
