Last year Luongo made the money in the Main Event and one year later he's looking to go even deeper.
Luongo clearly knows a few moves at the poker table, and according to the Olympic Gold Medal winner he's spent the last year brushing up on his poker skills.
Sponsored by Canadian government-run online poker room PlayNow.com, Luongo is one of the sports stars who clearly takes the game of poker seriously.
So far on Day 1 of the Main Event Luongo's still alive and PokerListings.com will checking in with him every day as he hopefully makes a truly deep run.
Luongo has been at the center of trade-controversy for the last two seasons but he says he's ready for a big season with the Canucks, and more than ready for the WSOP Main Event.
Check out the teaser for our upcoming short documentary below and check back soon for the feature.
