Other notable players that claimed a seat in the top 100 include Tom Orpaz, Leon Sturm, Josh Arieh, Roland Israelashvili, and Rodrigo Seiji.

Players will sit down with the stacks they built in the online portion and blinds are expected to start at 25,000/50,000/50,000. The plan calls for blind levels to be rolled back to 40x the average stack, with that final number yet to be determined. Payouts and prize pool information will also become available when the official numbers are settled. The tournament is set to pay out at least $5,000,000 as a guarantee.
