Players are still trickling in for Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Table 170 looks like one of the tougher tables in the field so far.
Antonio Esfandiari is in seat two. Esfandiari has three WSOP gold bracelets and over $27 million in lifetime tournament earnings. To his left is Jake Schwartz. Schwartz has just over $1.3 million in tournament winnings. Then there's Benjamin Ludlow, who is relatively new to the tournament poker scene, but earned a fourth-place finish in WSOP 2016's $1,500 8-Game for $40,911.
Jeremy Ausmus just sat down as well. Ausmus has almost $5 million in tournament earnings, but is still looking for his first WSOP gold bracelet. To his left is Dan O'Brien with just over $3 million in tournament earnings.
