Huck Seed is in the field and looking for action--some action on his side bet, that is. Huckleberry says he's at 14% body fat right now, and is looking for takers on a bet that he can get that down to 5% within two months. That's not an easy task when you spend the majority of your days sitting in a chair and eating casino food.

There are just too many names to list here individually, but click over to our "Chip Counts" page to see a list of the notable players we've spotted playing in our field today so far. As expected, this is a very pro-heavy field, which should make for some interesting play over the next three days. At this moment, we have 206 runners registered, and players will still be able to join up until the conclusion of Level 2.
