Fuchs Looking for Another Big Finish
Level 2
: 100/100, 0 ante
Carol Fuchs finished third in the $1,500 Omaha Mix last year, and she's in the field again in 2019.
Fuchs has already cashed three times at the 2019 WSOP, and her overall tournament results for the year are heavily weighted toward mixed games and non-hold'em poker variants.
Her biggest career cash came in the $1,500 Dealer's Choice Six-Handed event at the 2015 WSOP, where she took down her only career bracelet and a payday of $127,735. Her next biggest cash is last year's third-place finish in this event, and she's definitely a player to watch as Day 1 unfolds.

The Defending Champ is Back
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
Yueqi Zhu, who won the $1,500 Omaha Mix event last year, is here and ready to defend his title as the field trickles in for Level 1.
Last year's win gave Zhu his first and only career WSOP bracelet, and Zhu has proved he's a force to be reckoned with across a variety of games. He might be best known for his 10th-place finish in the 2018 WSOP Main Event, getting one of the bad shares of the infamous aces vs. kings vs. kings situation against Nick Manion on the final table bubble.
Zhu has proven he can run deep in any tournament, including last year's Main Event, a fifth place finish in the 2019 $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball championship, and of course his championship run in this event last year.
