John Gorsuch

More players are coming to town to play the Super Stacks Main Event and we found John Gorsuch in the field for the first time. The 2019 WSOP Millionaire Maker winner is technically the defending champion going into the series this fall. There hasn’t been one since so he keeps that title for a little while longer.

Flight C will continue through Level 8 then enjoy a 40-minute dinner break.
