Yaser Al-Keliddar (38,000), the defending champion, is just one of the names who will be returning today alongside other well-known players Mark Radoja (117,000), Ian Johns (79,500), Marco Johnson (64,500), Calvin Anderson (60,500) and the 2015 Main Event Champion Joe McKeehen who will be looking to double up as he returns with a short stack of 12,500.
Just like yesterday, ten 60-minute levels will be played today with a 15-minute break every two levels. There will be a 60-minute dinner break after Level 6 (≈ 8:30 p.m.) The limits will begin at 2,000/4,000 and with average stack at 53,611.
