WSOP Day 38: It's here. The WSOP Main Event kicks off today with action in Day 1A – but there's plenty of other events to keep an eye on as well. 

The $1,000 Mini Main Event is down to just 9 remaining players from a field of 12,560. Amin Mostafavi leads the pack in the hunt for the $1M first-place prize. 

Daniel Negreanu is one of five remaining players in the $100K PLO High Roller and sits second in the chip counts, trailing only slightly to Chris Frank.

Day 2 play in the $3,000 Freezeout NLH kicks off today. With 226 players remaining, there's a long way to go. Chris Moorman and Andrew Moreno take Top 10 stacks into the day. 

The field in the $10K 8-Game Mixed Championship was whittled down to 73 players throughout Day 1. Chris Vitch, Naoya Kihara, and Bryce Yockey are all in the Top 10 in the chip counts. 

Alongside the Main Event, we've got two other tournaments kicking off today: the $800 Summer Celebration and the $1,500 Double Board Bomb Pot PLO.
