Welcome back to our coverage of the 2013 World Series of Poker! We're here live from the Amazon Room floor for Event #8: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix. Yesterday saw 388 total participants hit the felt with the dreams of attaining this coveted mixed games bracelet. By the end of the night it was Eric Crain who was closest to achieving this goal as he bagged up 69,925 for the largest stack in the room.

Mixed games such as this always turn out the most star-studded fields packed with poker's elite. With the best competing against the best, it's an obvious certainty that some will fall quicker than others. Day 1 saw many players eliminated from play including Jennifer Harman, Mike Matusow, Matt Glantz, Alexander Kostritsyn, Daniel Negreanu, Brian Hastings, Jason Mercier, Barry Greenstein and last year��s champ David ��ODB�� Baker.

While all of those recognizable names have fallen, the field still remains stacked with many top pros still in contention. Last year's runner-up, Greg Mueller is one such name on that list. Mueller finished just one spot short of a bracelet in 2012 and will be returning for Day 2 this year with a stack of 20,200. Others who are still in contention include Neal Friets (50,425), Marco Johnson (46,825), Kai Chang (44,150), Andy Bloch (36,525), Kyle Bowker (36,000), Scott Seiver (35,275), Erick Lindgren (34,825), Paul Volpe (28,400) and Phil Ivey (18,550).

Cards will be in the air at 2:00 PM PST, so be sure to stay tuned to all of the live updates as we enter and march through the second day of mixed game play!
