Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL)

Deep runs in larger buy-in events isn't unfamiliar territory for Alex Nguyen (Coral Springs, FL), and he'll be looking to prior experiences to help him navigate through this ridiculously tough field.  While he only has $77,000 in recorded earnings, and handful of them have come in events such as this, including a final table appearance during the 2015 Isle Classic Main Event (6th Place - $21,250).  Over the course of this series, we've seen many players return with massive chip leads, only to fizzle out as the day progressed.  We will be keeping an eye out for Nguyen, tracking his trends throughout the ever important Day 2.
