Not the Softest Table in the Field - Scoping Out Brasilia Red 75

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

While the World Series of Poker Main Event is full of both pros and amateurs alike, one particular table in the Brasilia room has a terrifying number of very successful pros sitting on it today.

The line up for table Red 75 in the Brasilia room consists of Ben Keeline, Parker "Tonkaaaa'" Talbot, Jesse Sylvia, Tim Finne and Shannon Shorr, all regulars at the World Series of Poker and all with numerous successes, both live and online.

Starting off at the top of the list, Ben Keeline won the Colossus back in 2016 for $1,000,000. Keeline's success did not stop there. He now has over $2,000,000 in recorded live tournament earnings with cashes coming from all around the U.S. Keeline is a circuit regular who plays at a majority of the World Series of Poker Circuit stops.

Up next is Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot who is most notably recognized for his online presence and Twitch.tv fame. Talbot has started to put up a good showing of live results on his resume as well now too. Most recently this year he cashed in Event #50: $1,500 Razz, coming 25th for $3,034. His live recorded tournament earnings are now over $400,000 and he'll look to improve on that mark with a deep run in the Main Event this year.

Jesse Sylvia is no stranger to Main Event success either. Sylvia was the runner-up to Greg Merson in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event. Along with that he's put up multiple scores as well, brining his total live earnings to over $7,000,000. He's yet to lock up a WSOP bracelet but he's come close on more than one occasion with multiple second and third place finishes. He's definitely a force to be reckoned with on the felt.

Rounding out the table are Tim Finne and Shannon Shorr. Finne is most known for his mixed game prowess, but boasts over $1,000,000 in live tournament earnings. He has four cashes already this year for over $100,000 with a second place finish in Event #25: $ 1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo. He can improve on that number with another cash in the Main Event.

Shorr boasts over $6,000,000 in earnings himself, but most of those come outside of the World Series of Poker. Despite that, he still has 76 WSOP cashes and nearly $2,000,000 in WSOP earnings, but has yet to earn himself a bracelet. Shorr's biggest WSOP cash came in 2012 when he finished 3rd in Event #57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship for $455,362. He's got a good stack of over 100 big blinds here on Day 2 of the Main Event and he definitely has the potential to run it up even more.

Table 75 in Brasilia Red is definitely an anomaly of the field today with such a stacked line-up and represents one of the tougher tables in the field today. Overall, the total recorded cashes of these five players is over $16 million.
