Phil Hellmuth, Tony G and Daniel Negreanu are all playing today and really need to finish towards the top in order to have a chance at making it to the final table. Luke Schwartz is coming off a solid day of play yesterday where he earned his best finish and will be looking to ride that momentum into another good performance today.
Last time JC Tran and Hellmuth played together, there was a lot of battling between the two. Hellmuth even declared war on Tran. Laak will be commentating and is looking forward to the continuation of the war today. Here's what Hellmuth had to say about it on Twitter:
"JC Tran outplayed me today, well done sir. But I am going to mess JC up big time next match!! JC wants war, I'll give him war..."
Combining those two with Negreanu, Tony G and Schwartz, the banter should be strong today.
Action is set to begin in a little bit. The production crew is getting some pre-game interviews done and fixing up the last bits of preparation and then things will be underway.
