Luke "Platinum Pass Slayer" Vrabel

Luke Vrabel was among the latest wave of players to join the field just before the break and he wasted no time putting his chips to work.

Vrabel and his opponent were heads-up on the Q♣️10♣️6♦️8♥️Q♥️ board when all of the chips went in the middle.

Vrabel showed J♥️9♣️ for a turn straight and his opponent flashed Q♦️K♦️ for trip queens before firing his hand into the muck. Vrabel scooped the pot and has already doubled up to over 50,000.

Mike Dobbs

Mike Dobbs has just joined the field as we approach the first break of the day and he certainly knows a thing or two about this very event.

Dobbs bested the massive 1,158 entry field in the 2016 Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge $600 NLH $500,000 Guaranteed event taking home $97,845 and the trophy.

He returned last year to defend his title and he did just that chopping the 939 entry Event 1 field heads-up with Mark Schumacher for over $72,000.

Dobbs is already putting his starting stack to work as he looks to do the unthinkable and earn his third Foxwoods Mega Stack Event 1 title in as many tries.
