Reigning Champion In The House
![[user196676]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
While walking through the tournament area, we saw that the reigning champion, Nick Schulman, has taken his seat. Schulman defeated a field of 101 entrants last year to take down his second WSOP bracelet. Schulman battled through a final table that included the likes of Mike Wattel, George Danzer, Benjamin Parker, Ashton Griffin, John Juanda, and Bob Bright in order to earn his second piece of WSOP jewelry.
Interestingly enough, Schulman's first bracelet came from taking down this very event back in 2009.. Schulman dominated a final table that consisted of David Benyamine, Vince Musso, Archie Karas, Juanda, and Steve Sung and ultimately defeated Ville Wahlbeck heads up to grab the gold.
Can Schulman make it number three this year? Only time will tell. The one certainty remains, however, that Schulman is a force to be reckoned with in this game.
