Jon Sofen

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Limits: 500-1,800

Every summer, a legend that the poker world hasn't seen in quite some time pops up at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). This year, that individual is Huck Seed, the 1996 world champion.

PokerNews caught up with the Poker Hall of Famer to find out why he's back in the game after nearly a decade away, and to see if he thinks he can hang with the new-school pros. Seed, prior to the interview, ran into and shared a wholesome embrace with his old pal and fellow poker legend Gus Hansen inside the Horseshoe Events Center. The two hadn't seen each other in a while.

The 2004 Main Event Champion in the Field

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Limits: 400-1,400

In 2004, Greg "Fossilman" Raymer won the World Series of Poker Main Event title, securing a $5 million first-place prize after qualifying through a $160 online satellite. Raymer's victory following Chris Moneymaker's win the previous year further fueled the poker boom.

Raymer is currently seated at Table #129 and has been known to hand out a signed copy of his book to the person who eliminates him. It doesn't look like he has brought any books with him today, so he must be confident in bagging and tagging tonight.
