The race for the gold won't be easy with some serious contenders still in play such as six-time bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro, short stack with 600,000 and looking for an early double up, and Rafi Elharar with 2,020,000 , who finished third last summer in the massive $ 500 No Limit Hold'em - BIG 50 WSOP Event and will try to capture the 13th bracelet for players from Israel.

When the action begins, the blinds will be 50,000/100,000 with a 100,000 ante. The levels will increase every 40-minute with a 15-minute break every two levels.
