Where Are They Now: Battling Multiple Sclerosis, Paul Darden Returns to the Felt

Just 22 players bagged up stacks on Day 2 of Event #22: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the 2015 World Series of Poker. One player still in contention for the $318,977 first-place prize is a name fans of old-school World Poker Tour broadcasts might recognize: Paul Darden.

In Season 1, Darden won a $3,150 WPT event at Lucky Chances Casino in San Francisco for $146,000, an impressive triumph considering the final table included future TV superstars Antonio Esfandiari (third place) and Phil Helmuth (fourth place).
