"I'll Give Ya a Gamble"
Every once in awhile we see a familiar face in a tournament field, but we can't quite place it. That was the case with the gentleman over at Table 25. After pondering it for awhile and some debate among the PokerNews Live Reporting Team, we can now confirm that Scott Lazar is in the tournament.
If that name rings a bell, it's because he made the iconic 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event final table, the same one won by Australian Joe Hachem. Lazar finished in sixth place that year and took home a $1.5 million payday.
Here's a look at Lazar in action back in 2005 in a classic hand against Mike Matusow (check the three-minute mark):
