Day 1C Entries:  113

We’re seeing a lot of new faces in the RunGood Main Event this morning and one of the most accomplished WPT players joined the field.

Eric Afriat is one of only a half dozen players to put their name on the WPT Champions three (or more) times and he jumped in the action this morning. He won the 2014 WPT Poker Showdown Championship in Hollywood then followed that up with titles at the Borgata and Fallsview. Afriat came close to another one when he finished second to James Carroll at the 2019 WPT Poker Showdown Championship final table.
