Olivier Busquet
With tournament registration and re-entry remaining open until the start of Day 2 we are seeing our fair share of late arrivals today. There are plenty of big name poker pros already in the field including Vanessa Selbst, Galen Hall, Andy Frankenberger and Will Failla just to name a few.

This stacked Foxwoods Poker Classic Championship field has gotten a little tougher. Just before the last break of the night Olivier Busquet arrived. Busquet has earned more than $8,000,000 in live tournaments and holds 2 WPT titles, 2 Ept titles, 1 Borgata poker title and 1 PNIA title.

He wasted little time getting in on the action as we catch him moving all in on the river and scooping a pot just as we returned from the break.
