Daniel Tordjman, from France, has joined the field.
Just two days ago Tordjman was on the brink of his first World Series Of Poker bracelet against Phil Hui.
He ended up finishing second in that event, the $1,500 PLO, for $192,674.
Tordjman said that this is his first trip to the WSOP and that the day before he played the PLO, he finished second at the Golden Nugget $200 event for $ 4,363. His second second-place was definitely a lot more memorable and he's back at it today.
