The Ultimate Monster is underway, having kicked off at 11 a.m. local time.

It promises to be one of the most exciting events of the series as a starting stack is a gargantuan 100,000 in chips. Each buy in is $400 and players are able to rebuy or register for about another hour, through the break after Level 8.

There have been 78 players entries thus far, with 58 players remaining.
