Time flies when you're having fun! It seems like just yesterday that Event 1, the Employees event, kicked off and here we are today starting Event 14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout already.

We've had Mixed-Max tournaments and we've had Heads-Up tournaments that had a scent of shootout to them but today is the pure thing. Ten players will line up at each table today and only one will progress. Do the same thing three days on the trot and you have yourself a bracelet.

Here's a look back at previous year's winners:
