Paul Wasicka was in his seat right at the 12 p.m. start time for Day 1b. Wasicka owns the biggest runner-up payday in WSOP Main Event history, netting $6,102,499 for finishing second to Jamie Gold in 2006.
Wasicka hasn't been particularly active in tournament poker across the last decade, but he has cashed in the Main a couple of times since the career best score in 2006. Those results came in 2009 (480th for $25,027) and 2013 (493rd for $24,480).
Wasicka has $7,885,747 in lifetime earnings, and he'll be seeking his fourth career Main Event cash in this year's tournament.
