Last year's winner of the event, Austria's Klaus Ilk, is in the field looking to defend his title. Ilk bested a field of 3,121 to claim his maiden WSOP bracelet and the $371,603 prize money. Seated direct to his right is Kevin Danko, who also made the final table and finished fifth for a career-best score of $98,644 after being eliminated by Ilk.

Both players have gotten off to a good start and will surely clash at some point during the day so stay tuned to PokerNews for the latest updates.
