The day began with four former Main Event champs, but only three remained after Stewart Scott was eliminated early in Level 8. Now, that number is back up to four as 2007 winner Gus Hansen has taken advantage of the late registration (with just minutes to go).

He begins with just 30 big blinds, and is seated right next to Tony G. Needless to say, The "Great Dane" will have some work to do.
