The last name "Wade" is royalty in South Florida, and we've got one member of the family with us for this Main Event. It's not Miami Heat point guard Dwyane Wade or Senegal's President, Abdoulaye Wade. Neither of those men have won a WSOP bracelet before, but Tristan Wade has.
Wade, who's known by the handle "Cre8ive", has won just shy of $1 million in his poker career, and the bulk of that came last fall in Cannes, France. He won the €3,000 Shootout event at the WSOPE, earning more than a quarter-million dollars and that priceless piece of jewelry. Wade is on the heels of a long poker vacation in Asia and the Pacific, but he's found fit to come back home and play this WSOPC Main Event as he looks to add a Circuit ring to his WSOP trophy case.
He's joined a table up in the top section of the room that includes Chad Brown Pro.
