Daniel Negreanu has come and gone within the first 15 minutes of this event. Earlier, Negreanu tweeted the following:
@RealKidPoker: Playing 3 events today: 1500 PLO noon, Day 2 10k Stud, 3pm, 2500 8 Game 5pm, then noon tmr is 5k NLH shootout. Hectic schedule coming.
Our guess is that Negreanu came in trying to run up a stack or bust seeing as he'll be returning for Event #21: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship at 3:00 PM. Oftentimes in these events, pros will do that as they're just trying to play as many events as possible. Running up a large stack early is much better for them than grinding multiple events at once with smaller stacks, or so they feel.
We're minutes away from starting Event #22: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. This will be a triple chance event where players begin with 1,500 in starting chips but are offered two 1,500 add-on's that they will be able to take at any time. This will add an exciting bit of strategy early on, as some players will choose to take their add-on's immediately to have a bigger stack, while others will use their add-on's as insurance if they lose a big hand that would have normally sent them to the rail.
Last year, this event received 885 entrants for a prize pool totaling $1,194,750. The gold bracelet and $256,919 was awarded to Tex Barch, also known for his third-place finish in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event. Barch defeated a final table where bracelet winners Nenad Medic and Blair Rodman were present.
