Event 16: Double the Money

$1,100 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-out)
Level 6: 100/200/50 Ante

Event 16 has crossed into double guarantee territory as the 200th player gets in the game. Four-time WSOP-C winner Sam Panzica was number 199 and we are still looking for who put the field at 200.

Table 28 has a reunion of friends and competitors. Two-time WPT final table member Dan Buzgon is sitting in the 2-seat and WPT Borgata Winer Poker Open champ Aaron Mermelstein took up residence in the 6-seat.

The two are friends from the Northeast and recently battled at the $1,100 Event 4 final table. Mermelstein went on to win the tournament with Buzgon going out in 3rd.

Also making a first time appearance this series is Xuan Liu. She has cashed for more than $1.5 million in her career including 3rd place in the 2012 PCA Main Event and 4th place at EPT Sanremo in 2011.
