The best dressed man in poker has taken his seat in Paris Purple and it's none other than Stuart Taylor of England. Sporting a crisp purple blazer with a matching shirt, he's adding a sharp dose of style to the Paris Ballroom.
The only question now is: Is his biggest edge at the table his wardrobe?
We’ll find out soon enough as we keep you updated on his run.

Alberto Fonseca bet 6,000 chips into a pot of 12,000 on a board reading 10♣K♦6♠10♦Q♥. Clayton Bates raised to 16,000.
After much consideration, Fonseca reluctantly called, while saying he should fold. He was right about that.
Bates had K♥K♣9♣8♥ for a full house. Fonseca showed a pair of pocket queens that gave him a smaller boat on the river.
PokerNews caught up with 2013 main event champion Ryan Riess regarding his WSOP 2025 so far.
"How's your summer been so far?"
Reiss: "I've defiantly played a lot, I believe I'm about even for the summer so far with around $150,000 in buy ins and the same in cashes. Overall, it’s been a solid run, with some deep finishes including an 11th place in the $5K PLO. However, I don't do the accounting until after the summer".
Allen Feldman was the first player to reach the maximum reentry, firing his third bullet one hour into the event.
"Maybe I'm the mystery bounty," he joked. "They should have that."
Bracelet winner David Williams has one word to describe his main event, which ended on Day 1.
"Uneventful."
Williams said he went out with pocket kings that was called by a guy with five-six, who hit trip sixes on the flop.
"That's poker,' Williams said. "There is always next year."
As for this year's series, in which he has entered a number of events but has yet to make a deep run?
"It's not over yet," Williams said.
