Negreanu is searching for his first bracelet of the series after final tabling both Event #32: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. and Event #36: $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship but ultimately coming up short in both. To earn the bracelet, Kid Poker will have to navigate through a field that includes Shaun Deeb, Scott Seiver, Joni Jouhkimainen, Alexandre Reard, Dario Sammartino, Joao Simao and Johan Guilbert.

Some of the biggest names in poker were in the field in Day 1 but failed to make it to the second day of play, including Phil Hellmuth, Joe Hachem, Chance Kornuth, Maria Ho, Anthony Zinno, James Chen, Dan Shak and Darren Elias.
