The $10,000 Six-Max is always a slow-starting, slow-burn type field at the start. With registration available until 5:30 pm and tons of chips, a lot of players take their time getting in.

But those who are here already have some skills and results to prove it. Some early friends include Chance Kornuth, Darren Elias, Landon Tice, Joe McKeehen, high-roller legend Erik Seidel, former SHRPO Champion Farid Jattin, Jonathan Jaffe, and Jeremy Ausmus.
