The field is brimming with excited mixed game players, all looking to surpass Eichhorn. Among the contenders is last year's champion, Jaswinder Lally (150,000), who will try to defend his title and become back-to-back champion.

Scott Bohlman (179,000), Brian Rast (169,500), and Adam Friedman (142,000) all look to make runs with healthy stacks as well.

Players have not yet reached the money. The top 65 players will cash, and a min-cash will earn $2,417. Levels will be 60-minutes long and players will try to survive ten levels today to make the third and final day tomorrow.

PokerNews will be on hand to cover all the mixed game action until we have a winner.
