Alan "Ari" Engel, Bernard Lee, and Eric Stiglets are amongst the field of entrants for the Council Bluffs Main Event. Jeremy Byrum came in fifth place for over $50,000 at the WSOP Circuit Event in Tunica and is seated at Lee's table.
Another player to look out for is Drazen Ilich. Ilich has netted three cashes in preliminary events here in Iowa, including a win in Event #6 for over $32,000 and a runner-up finish in Event #1 for $15,000.
