After the second 20-minute break today was the parade of former World Series of Poker main event champions.

One after another, the champs made their way onto the set, and with each player, the applause grew louder and louder.

The group were called the "terrific 10" and they took the stage one by one. They are: Joe Hachem (2005), Greg Raymer (2004), Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (2000), Scotty Nguyen (1998), Brad Daugherty (1991), Phil Hellmuth (1989), Johnny Chan (1987-88), Barry Johnson (1986), Tom McEvoy (1983), and Doyle Brunson (1976-77).

They stood shoulder to shoulder while flashbulbs popped and people cheered. The six players still in the main event sat at the table, accepting the former champs' handshakes, waiting to see who will be the one to join them next year.
