Holy Ground: What a Year to Be Loren Klein

Loren Klein won his first WSOP gold bracelet last year in this event. He followed that up with a second-place finish to Brandon Shack-Harris in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.

From June 26, 2016 to June 25 2017, Klein added two bracelets and all but $500,000 of his $1.635 million in live tournament earnings to his résumé.

Klein is the defending Champion in this event, he won his second bracelet this summer in Event #41: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha for $241,483, and he won two other series' Main Events during that time, as well.

Klein is off to a decent start in this event, as he has almost 30,000 chips.
