The $10K PLO Championship will crown a winner today as Michael Mizrachi holds a commanding lead over his two remaining opponents.

Naoya Kihara leads the 13 remaining players in the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet. With two bracelets already won this summer, Kihara will have a pretty good shot at a third when play resumes at 1:00PM local time.

The $1,000 Mini Main Event will see action in Day 2A. Players will look to bag up big stacks later today and join the 194 survivors advancing from Day 1A. 

When Day 2 play resumes at 12:00PM local time, the 348 remaining players in the $5K 6-Max NLH will battle down to a final table. 

The $1,500 8-Game Mixed rolls into Day 2 action with 147 players remaining – with Daniel Negreanu amongst them. 

And, last but not least, the $10K Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship kicks off with Day 1 action. 

Who stands between The Grinder and a 9th WSOP bracelet? Just two players, that's who. Here's a rundown on the final three players in the $10K PLO Championship.

Mystery Millions bags up for the day: Just 24 players will be back to get this one done on Monday at 1pm, with $1 million waiting for the winner.

India's Vinay Boob leads the field with 97.3M chips, followed by David 'ODB' Baker with 75.8M. At the other end, Ren Lin is holding on for dear life with just 12.3M (8bb).

Oh, and the $1M top bounty prize? Gone, I'm afraid, pulled by Jonathan Schiller who just happened to be in the area for the bowling nationals. Full story below.

Naoya Kihara top again: What a summer Kihara is having. He's already won two bracelets and come close to a third. He'll have another chance tomorrow when he returns leading the final 15 players in the $2,500 Mixed Big Bet event. Kihara has almost double the chips of Dylan Smith in second.
