I noticed a number of notable names in the field, which will give the final table great potential. Recognizable names include Cliff Josephy, James Obst, previous chip leader and 8-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Valentin Vornicu, Tom Marchese, Griffin Benger, and 2009 November Niner Antoine Saout. I can't wait to watch ESPN coverage!
