With even the top stacks not being massive chip leaders, today will be an open opportunity for every player still alive as stacks can go from small to big and vice verse in the manner of minutes as was seen on multiple occasions yesterday in wild PLO action.
Some of the notable players still alive include; Vegas local, Steven Foutty who was around chip lead in the final levels of the night with a few eliminations, including of Greg Raymer. He dropped a little bit before ending Day 1 and will take a stack of 1,120,000 into today, good for the fourteenth largest stack.
The two WSOP bracelet winners who still remain; Joao Simao (510,000) of Brazil and Andrew Donabedian (420,000). Popular poker vlogger Andrew Neeme (440,000) is also still in the mix.
Play will begin at 12 p.m. local time and the plan is to play all the way down to the winner today. Levels are 30 minutes long and there will be a 15-minute break every three levels. Dinner break is to be determined.
