There are 26 players still remaining in the main event, all of whom have a unique story. We'll do our best to bring you those stories throughout the day. However, right now let's take an aggregate look at the field.

Of the 26 players remaining:

The average time each has been playing poker is just under five and a half years. Craig Marquis has been playing for about a year and a half whereas Joe Bishop reports that he's been playing poker for 26 years.

The average age of these players is just over 30. Aaron Gordon is the only 21-year-old left in the field, while Dennis Phillips is the eldest at 53 years young.

Nine of these players consider themselves professionals. Six players consider themselves "semi-professionals," while another seven had no problem admitting that they were, in fact, amateurs. Three players opted not to answer the question at all.
