Selbst and Esfandiari Among Those Battling it Out, Riess Short
There are a surprising amount of name players taking part in the action here at the Rio tonight. Antonio Esfandiari and Vanessa Selbst are two of the biggest names in poker and they headline the number of pros that are taking on the large contingent of amateurs in pursuit of poker glory.
Joining those two on the felt are Athanasios Polychronopolous, T.J. Cloutier, Barry Greenstein, Dennis Phillips, and Jesse Sylvia. Ryan Riess is also playing but is already in danger of being eliminated as he has just 300 in chips sitting in front of him. "I might not be here when you get back," Reiss said to a cocktail server after ordering a drink.
