Event 3: Killer Table

$350 + $50 Seven Card Stud

Chris Reslock

The field of 69 means that some heavy hitters are bumping elbows at the table.

Clearly the most decorated group includes Chris Reslock (Atlantic City, NJ), "Grandpa" Jay Zimmet (Manalapan, NJ) and Charlie Townsend (Dagsboro, DE).  The three of them have combined for 10 titles in this format, including Reslock's 2007 WSOP bracelet.

Reslock has 6 titles, including one in stud high/low and has $1.7 million in career tournament earnings, while Townsend has 3 titles and $271,000 career winnings.

Zimmet, doesn't have the accolades of the other two ($42,000 winnings), but he has the most recent title. He took down the seven card stud title ($7,200) in last year's inaugural Borgata Fall Poker Open, his second title of 2011 after winning the PLO title ($11,000) in June. 

Also in the field is three time WSOP bracelet holder "Miami" John Cernuto.
