No offense to anyone else, but the biggest name of the fourteen has to be Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, who has 7,535,000 chips; the group also includes John Racener, William Thorson, Alexander Kostritsyn, Joseph “subiime” Cheong and Matt “McMatto” Affleck. Other non-2+2 members still in are David Benyamine, Johnny Lodden, Jacobo Fernandez, Hasan Habib, David "not Bakes" Baker and Jean-Robert Bellande. Mizrachi is the lone surviving Mizrachi brother left in the tournament. Two-time Main Event champion Johnny Chan and “last woman standing” Breeze Zuckerman were eliminated during day 6.
There are two players remaining that can break Joe Cada's record for youngest main event champion - Michal Wywrot and Michiel Sijpkens.
