Gold, whose $12 million Main Event payday remains the second-largest in WSOP history, sits among the chip leaders with just 80 players remaining from 4,478 entries in the annual WSOP $500 SALUTE to Warriors event. This year's tournament will donate more than $180,000 to the USO, which supports the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.

"My dad was in the service, so I always like to play this Salute to Warriors event," the former world champion explained. "It's never easy with 4,500 entries. I'll be happy if I just make the final table, and then of course I'll feel like I have to win it! One goal at a time."
