One of the players we're keeping an eye on today is local Star City player Warwick Mirzikinian. Mirzikinian satellited into today's tournament three separate times. One seat he is using today; the other two seats he sold to other players who were not as fortunate or as skilled as Mirzikinian in winning their way into the tournament.
Mirzikinian's satellite success would suggest he has the chops to go deep in this tournament. The fact that he has already doubled up to roughly 42,000 chips merely bolsters his case.
