Last Week's Champ Among Early Arrivals

The tournament clock is displaying 87 entries in the opening minutes of Level 1 and among them is last week's $1,100 Main Event winner Landon Tice. The 21-year-old from Florida topped a field of 1,123 last week and earning $201,529 for his performance.

Tice is not alone in his quest on a deep run, as last week's 17th-place finisher Sean Yu is also one of the players in their seats at the start of the day. Faraz Jaka has also been spotted in the room after playing both heats last week and finding himself unable to advance, and he looks to be among the group to get through on the first of three starting flights this time around.
