Event #10: $5,000 Main Event Championship
Jour 1b a débuté
The marquee event of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise at Atlantis Resort & Casino continues today with a second starting flight getting underway at noon local time. The second of four starting flights in Event #10: $5,000 Main Event Championship should attract a big field and plenty of big names en route to hitting the ambitious $15 million guarantee.
Those who make it through Day 1b will join Day 1a survivors, including Mustapha Kanit, Chino Rheem, Faraz Jaka, Chris Hunichen and reigning Main Event champion Daniel Weinman, who will try to improve on his most recent runner-up finish in the WSOP Circuit Cherokee Main Event earlier this month.
There are still plenty of big names left to hop into the Main Event, including the ever-vlogging Daniel Negreanu and all-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth, who teased his trademark Main Event grand entrance on social media.

Another name toward the top of the all-time bracelet list, Erik Seidel, may hop in as he hunts for an 11th bracelet after taking down Event #7: $50,000 Super High Roller for $1,704,400 and a 10th bracelet to tie Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan and the late Doyle Brunson in second place.
When asked by PokerNews what he else he'd like to accomplish after winning his 10th bracelet, the Poker Hall of Famer replied, "Try and get to 11.”
Day 1b will follow a similar schedule as the previous starting flight, with blinds kicking off at 100/200/200 with 40-minute levels and a 15-minute break every three levels. There is a 75-minute dinner break scheduled to take place at the end of Level 9 at approximately 6:30 p.m.

Michael Hathaway opened in early position and Jonathan Little called on the button.
Hathaway continued for 1,200 on the flop of 10♦K♠8♠ and Little called. Hathaway then checked on the 4♦ turn and Little checked back.
Hathaway checked again on the J♦ turn and Little bet 4,500. Hathaway folded as Little showed a king and informed the table that he'd been dealt a king all four hands of the tournament so far.
"Give me a king every hand and things will be good!" Little told the dealer.
