Family Reunion
It was 2013 when Chad Holloway won his bracelet in this very same event, locking down the title and $84,915. At his table, he is having a small reunion of sorts.
To Holloway's right is Daniel Ellery. Ellery was the 5th place finisher the year that Holloway won this event, locking down $18,426.
On the other side of the table is also Allen Kwong. Kwong was the player that Holloway bested heads-up to win the event. For his runner-up finish, Kwong won $52,318 and is possibly looking for some revenge against Holloway.
With a bunch of tables still with players, it's quite the coincidence that all three would be seated together once again. Holloway tweeted about the freak occurrence as well:
