Limits: 600-1,200

William Coren shared a touching story of how he came to be in the field today.

"My brother was a very wealthy man. He knew I could play in these 10Ks, he could put me up. He died three years ago, and I found an envelope with $10,000 in it," Coren said.

Coren added he used that money to enter his first event but didn't cash. He then entered a second time and finished in the money before being eliminated early on his third attempt.

"I was like, I was one out of three, I was even. So I wasn't sure I was going to come back. My wife is like, of course you're going to play. It's your brother's legacy," he said.
