Same Names, Different Day

Most of these big Atlantic City events draw a lot of familiar faces. This is certainly true here today at Caesars. We've already spotted more than half of the final table from the last Circuit stop up here, the Harrah's Championship in December.

Dwyte Pilgrim took home seventh-place money in that event a few months ago, and he's back to try once again for a Main Event ring. Pilgrim is sporting some new bling this time around; taking down Event #4 earlier this week earned him his first big hunk of gold, which he is proudly showing off today.

Also in the field is fifth-place finisher Allen Bari, who is a force to be reckoned with on the felt. Each of the top three finishers from December are back here this week too: Kyle Bowker, Phillip Reed, and champion Brent Roberts.
