The Defending Champion Has Arrived

Ankush Mandavia is the defending champion of this event from the 2016 WSOP. He has five cashes already this year including a runner-up finish in the 10K Tag Team Championship where he narrowly missed out on his second ring, falling heads-up to the Championship team of Igor Kurganov and Liv Boeree. Kurganov and Mandavia went at it for the vast majority of that final day and it was a hard fought battle by two of the worlds biggest names in the poker world.

Watch for Mandavia to make a run today as he knows exactly what to do in a format like this, suited to his strong and aggressive playing style.
