Last year's winner Yuri Dzivielevski beat a record field of 836 players. He took on Randy Ohel heads-up, winning $207,678 from a prize pool of $1,116,060. Perhaps this year can beat those numbers.
Dzivielevski expressed some doubts about his mixed game skills in his interview with PokerNews, "I'm working a lot on my game, so I don't know exactly what is my best game, to be honest. Like, results show that limit hold'em is my best game, but I'm not sure—maybe it is?" However, his skills were certainly good enough last year. If he returns this year, we'll see if he can pull it off again.
