The Defending Champion Arrives

Last year, Kyriakos Papadopoulos steam rolled the Zynga Poker WPT500 Las Vegas final table and topped the 2,983-entrant field to capture the $207,940 first-prize on a final table that included Bobby Poe, Adi Ben Ami, Chris Bell, and Zynga Poker VIP player Hugh Grant.

Papadopoulos has now taken a seat on Day 1G looking to defend his title. Papadopoulos is seated alongside former WPT500 champion Sean Yu, along with Jake Bazeley and poker media member Oliver Biles.
