Players have returned from their first break and a familiar face leads them all. Griffin Paul earned his seat into the WPT Tournament of Championship this time last year when he won the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship.

He has a big early stack, mostly from busting newly minted WPT Player of the Year Mike Shariati.
