A few of the other players returning today include Sam Grafton (2,120,000), Michael Addamo (1,855,000), Phil Hellmuth (355,000), and Daniel Negreanu (330,000).

Negreanu is coming off two third-place finishes this weekend, totaling more than a million dollars in cashes in Event #84: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha - High Roller, and Event #85: $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em - High Roller. He will be looking to build on that momentum today, despite bagging near the bottom of the leaderboard last night.

Play will resume on Level 13, with the blinds at 20,000/40,000/40,000. Players who wish to enter at the start of Day 2 will start with 600,000 in chips. They will play down to the final five players tonight and the finale will be broadcast on PokerGo tomorrow, Nov 23.
