We have a great turnout for the Eight-Game Mix, a game with a small but impressive part in our history. This is only the fifth time we’ve run this tournament and the Showdown event was the first time in nearly a decade.

But when we did run them, we have some big-time WSOP champs take the crown. Jason Mercier won the first title, Corey Zeidman won the third, and reigning WSOP Main Event champ Daniel Weinman was the winner in between.

Not too shabby.

Early entrants in this run include Charles Mayes, Donny Rubinstein, and recent mix game convert Willie Wiggins,
