Two WSOP Main Event Champs Reach Day 2 of PokerStars Summer Series Finale

The $2,200 buy-in PokerStars Summer Series Event #3, the last of the tournament, is slated to play down to a winner on Sunday, and there's at least a reasonable chance the winner will be a former world champ.

Both Joe McKeehen and Jamie Gold advanced to Day 2 in the $500,000 guaranteed no-limit hold'em tournament. Gold won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in 2006 for $12 million, while McKeehen took it down in 2015 for $7.7 million.
