Event 23 is cruising right along toward the first break and the $100,000 is way in the rearview mirror. There are 147 entries with room to grow and many players making their first appearance including brothers Aaron and Ralph Massey, Joe McKeehen, and Bin Weng.

We caught friends Jeremy Becker and reigning WPT Player of the Year Jake Ferro seated right next to each other, with an unoccupied 5-seat in between, and they had a laugh that Ferro was holding most of Becker’s stack.
