Go back to your DVD vault. Pop in the first season of the World Poker Tour, select the Legends of Poker tournament, admire Shauna Hiatt and then take a look at the champion of said event, Chris Karagulleyan ... fast forward nine years and there he is, Chris Karagulleyan - chip leader heading into Sunday play at the LA Poker Open - live from Commerce Casino.
Karagulleyan enters Day 2 with a little over 182k in chips - a little less than 20k chips ahead of David Le.
Speaking of blasts from the past, keep an eye on the man currently in 19th place - Kenny Tran - although his last tournament win came at the 2008 WSOP - Tran is always a dangerous player in tournament play.
