James Akenhead and Jonty Willis in the Field
Among the players in the field are United Kingdom's James Akenhead and Jonty Willis. Akenhead likely needs no introduction with $3.5 million in live tournament cashes.
Jonathan "Jonty" Willis is well-known by online poker streaming fans as he streams his online poker action once a week on the partypoker Twitch channel.
Meanwhile, other UK players are expected in the field including well-known Scottish poker pro Ludovic Geilich who was at the casino playing cash games late last night.
