Mit schwacher Beteiligung begann die WM in Limit Hold’em mit 185 Spielern, doch wie bei allen 10.000 Dollar-Events ist das Feld voll mit Profis der Pokerszene.
Neben Howard Lederer, Scotty Ngyuen, David Benyamine und vielen anderen Weltstars nahmen auch Markus Golser und einige Deutsche an dieser WM mit einem Preisgeld von 1.739.000 Dollar teil, von denen allein auf den Sieger 460.836 Dollar entfallen.116 Teilnehmer erreichten den zweiten Tag, doch mit Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Titelverteidiger Rob Hollink, Daniel Negreanu und Mike Matusow gab es bereits einige prominente Abgänge. Aus deutscher Sicht musste leider auch Dragan Galic recht früh die Segel streichen, nachdem sein Stack schon bald böse geschrumpft war.Noch dabei sind unter anderen Annie Duke, Todd und Doyle Brunson und Jennifer Harman, außerdem schaffte Markus Golser die Qualifikation für Tag 2. Jennifer Harman führt das Feld mit 127.600 Chips an, ihr auf den Fersen sind Marc Klecan, Josh Arieh, Shaun Deeb, Greg Mueller and Mark Teltscher.
