Sotiropoulos also found a bag at the end of Day 2, finishing with 21,800,000. Sotiropoulos is no stranger to final tables as he also is coming off a final table finish as he won his third WSOP gold bracelet and $432,575 in Event #65: MINI Main Event No-Limit Hold'em.
However, Sotiropoulos isn't the only bracelet winner as 2019 $400 Colossus Winner Sejin Park is looking to capture his second gold bracelet, coming into Day 3 with 14,600,000.
