Two former Main Event champions have arrived in the Brasilia Room for Day 1b of the Main Event.

Ryan Riess captured the Main Event title in 2013 and pocketed himself over $8.3 million dollars and he's now in action in this year's Main Event after a mid-WSOP break spent with family has recharged his batteries.

The year before Riess' win in 2012, Greg Merson was the victor and earned slightly more with $8.5 million. Both players are in the action early on Day 1b and will be looking to run up a stack. With Joe Cada coming so close to a second crown last year, these two know that anything is possible.
