Before the Western New York Poker Challenge kicked off last week, we put together a list of players to watch for the 16-tournament series. Some of them have already found success; Rick Block and Randy Pfeifer finished second and third in Event#2, respectively, and Jason Nablo made the final table in each of the first two events on the schedule.
Event #10 is the first we've seen of Johannes Mueller, another player who made our list. According to the Hendon Mob, Mueller has made the final table in 11 of his 21 career live tournament cashes, including the Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event last November (he finished fourth for $14,558). Mueller's first tournament win came a month later at the SuperStacks Hold'em Series at Turning Stone, and he kept the momentum going by winning a side event at the Borgata Winter Poker Open in January. Last month he placed seventh in a $1,100 Fallsview Poker Classic event for $18,134. That tournament was eventually won by Mike Leah.
