Level 8
There were 108 players to register for this event this year, but even so, some very big notable faces are missing from the mix. Some of the players that come mind that did not play are former champions Scotty Nguyen and Freddy Deeb, along with Erik Seidel, Jen Harman, Ben Lamb, Joe Hachem, Isaac Haxton, Carlos Mortensen, Tom Dwan and Eli Elezra. Even without them in the field (and that's a hefty list of names), the tournament is stacked.
