Eyal Bensimhon leads the field with 6,800,000 and is looking for his first career WSOP title. Behind him is Norbert Mosonyi to start today with 5,110,000 and cashing today his first ever WSOP event. The race for the gold won't be easy with some serious contenders still in play such as six-time bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro, short stack with 600,000 and looking for an early double up, and Rafi Elharar with 2,020,000 , who finished third last summer in the massive $ 500 No Limit Hold'em - BIG 50 WSOP Event and will try to capture the 13th bracelet for players from Israel.
The ten remaining players have secured a minimum cash of $2,996 but are all desperate to take down the precious title of first event of the series. When the action begins, the blinds will be 50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 ante. The levels will increase every 40-minute with a 15-minute break every two levels.
