The Defending Champ is Here; Oooh Yeah!

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Defending $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Dan Cates has just taken his seat in this year's tournament wearing a Randy Savage costume.

You'll have pictures of the Macho Man himself, complete with wig and cowboy hat very soon. For now, he's seated next to Phil Ivey who has had a bemused and confused expression on his face ever since Cates sat down.

Cates has also placed the bracelet he won for winning the PPC last year on the table in front of him.

"You should wear it!" said tablemate Chris Fraser. "Did you bring the trophy as well?"

Oh, and one last thing to mention. He's doing the Randy Savage voice.

"Just the thought that you think you can win this thing," he said, pointing to the bracelet.
