The 2020 WSOP Main Event Champion Damian Salas has just taken his seat in the Horseshoe Ballroom Orange section.
The Argentine pro has the distinction of winning the once-in-a-lifetime pandemic-induced Main Event format where he won the international tournament final table in Rozvadov and then defeated Joseph Hebert, who was the American champion, in a heads-up duel for the official Main Event title.
His title banner hangs with all the others, with no rail or celebration behind him as a sign of the times.
Salas was already a known entity before his title as he made the Main Event final table in 2017 where he finished in 7th place and also had a very deep run in 2022 with a 27th place finish.
