Chris Sandrock finished third in this tournament one year ago and this time holds the record of being the first player on the rail! Just as Ehsan Amiri took his seat on the same table, Sandrock was spotted on his way out and Trevor Hebert as well as Fahredin Mustafov were kind enough to recall the action.
According to the other players at the table, Sandrock had flopped a full house with 
on
