Day 1 starts at 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, July 13. Players sit down armed with 40,000 chips and play to 40-minute levels for the first six levels before levels extend to 60 minutes thereafter. Late registration is available for the first ten levels until approximately 11 p.m.

Alex Livingston is this event's reigning champion. Livingston topped an 844-strong field to capture his second bracelet and $390,621 in prize money. The mixed-game specialist was delighted to win a bracelet in a pot-limit Omaha tournament.
“I really do love all the games, like the 10-game, 9-game mix, and H.O.R.S.E. are my best formats, but it's really nice to win one in PLO because it's probably the game I’ve played the most hands in, and to get one done here really feels good.”
