Tough table draw for Wally Maddah (left)

While there are few true soft spots in a field of this quality, there are more than a fair share of tough table draws.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa poker ambassador Wally Maddah finds himself surrounded by millions in career earnings among his tablemates Erik Seidel, Scott Seiver, Stewart Newman, and David Levi.

Table 33 features Kevin Eyster, Mark Herm, Kane Kalas, and 2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess along with Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Jared Jaffee.

And back in the corner at Table 8 we have seats 2 through 5 occupied by 2016 WSOP Main Event champ Joe McKeehen, Tim West, Jake Bazeley, Barry Hutter, and Pratyush Buddiga with former SHRP champ Michael LaRocca at the other end.
