Jonathan Dwek is in the field today. He said that his dad joined as well, but busted during Level 1. Dwek asked if there was anyone interesting or unique in the tournament and then nominated himself.

Dwek is seated with fellow Canadian Xuan Liu and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Dan Heimiller.

Widdman is best know by the handle "Hotted89" and carries the support of more than 130,000 YouTube subscribers and 230,000 Twitch followers. As far as his poker resume, he won the eSports Battle Royale Poker Tournament in February.
