Faces From the Summer
We haven't heard from him yet, but we just spotted France's Antonin Teisseire (pictured below) over on the far side of the room. In one of the most stacked final tables of this past WSOP, Teisseire outlasted the $5,000 Triple Chance field to claim Series gold and more than $825,000. He's put some of that new money to work here today, joining a table that also contains Melanie Weisner.
Teisseire's accomplishment was a fine one, but there are another two players here who have some boast-worthy WSOP credentials of their own. Martin Staszko (below left) and Anton Makiievskyi (below right) were just two of the 6,865 entrants into the Main Event last month, and now they're two of just nine. Both of the Europeans have made the November Nine, and they're both here today sharpening up a bit in advance of the biggest poker game of their lives.
