Steven Genovese looked like almost every other player at his table. He isn't just any old player.

Genovese won the Salute to Warriors event in 2023. He'd kind of like that to go untold, at least at the table.

"I'm trying to go incognito," he said.

Genovese garners a different reaction at his home games these days. Of course, a new level of respect is to be expected when you show up to a regular weekly affair sporting a WSOP bracelet.

"Yeah, the boys treat me a little different," Genovese said. "I got my little 15 minutes of fame, locally. It was fun."

Genovese missed last year's WSOP because of heart bypass surgery. He is healthy now and hoping to be in the hunt for another bracelet.

"I'm feeling good, but they say don't eat red meat ... that's hard."
