Unter den Poker-Pros gilt das $50.000 8-Game „The Players Championship“ als die wahre Weltmeisterschaft. Da hier 8-Game gespielt wird sind die Mix-Game Experten gefragt. Mit bisher 93 Spielern durfte man eine leichte Steigerung zu Vorjahr verzeichnen, doch da die Late-Registration noch bis zum Start von Tag 2 geöffnet ist, könnten es noch mehr werden. Daher müssen wir auf die Payouts noch etwas warten. Mit Johannes Becker und Jens Lakemeier haben wir auch zwei Deutsche mit dabei. Etwas verwundert war man, dass auch Leon Tsoukernik (CZE) und Ivo Donev (AUT) mit von der Partie waren. Das Ivo sich bei allen 8-Game Varianten wohl fühlt war kein Geheimnis, doch Leon sehen wir zum ersten Mal bei einem derartigen Mix-Event. Beide haben es aber locker durch Tag 1 geschafft und Leon konnte seinen Starting Stack von 250.000 auch schon etwas ausbauen. Unter den bisher ausgeschiedenen Spieler befinden sich auch Ben Sulsky (USA), Dan Shak (USA), Daniel Cates (USA) und David Benyamine (FRA). Den Chiplead nach Tag 1 hält der Brite Matthew Ashton mit 705.500.
Am Montagabend geht es für 87 Spieler mit Tag 2 weiter im Level 7. Der Average liegt bei 267.241.
