Niklas Astedt, Paul Volpe, and Yuri Dzivielevski will be in the field when the 2021 World Series of Poker Main Event kicks off this week.

We’re taking into account recent momentum, proven ability to navigate large-field tournaments, and the last half-decade of Main Event results. We’re also looking to see who’s already turned up at the WSOP this year and who may just sit out until 2022.
So, enjoy. Here’s a special super-sized, special edition of First-Round […]
