Why Will Givens Has Been Absent with a Big Stack Deep in WSOP Main Event

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Will Givens

Will Givens bagged a big stack on Day 5 in the WSOP Main Event, but he was mysteriously absent when play resumed Saturday morning.

It was a bit strange to see an empty chair this deep in the biggest tournament in the world, where the remaining players were playing for potentially millions of dollars. But Givens, a Will Kassouf of sorts at the poker table, had something better to do than arrive on time, he told PokerNews. Apparently, he can't crush it on the felt without the proper nutrition. More specifically, avocado toast.

Aquino was visibly frustrated as he mucked his cards.
