Action of the Day
Day 1 was action-packed, with registration and reentry available until the end of Level 9. As registration closed, only 32 percent of the field remained, with roughly 700 players of the 2,212 entries still in action.
The bust-outs continued quickly and the bubble burst before the official hand-for-hand period began. The floor had asked the dealers to stand up at the completion of their hands, but with multiple eliminations, the remaining 332 players locked up their $2,005 minimum cash.
Phil Laak had a boost in chips when he made a royal flush and managed to hang on to them as he finished the day with 243,000.
Other notables to find a bag include, Brian Hastings (793,000), David Prociak (630,000), Christopher Frank (608,000), and Shaun Deeb (445,000).
However, not all were as fortunate to advance to the second day including Mike Matusow, Adam Hendrix, Jesse Lonis, Nikita Kuznetsov, and Scott Ball.
The final 128 players have locked up a payout of $2,696, but all eyes are on the grand prize of $262,734 and the WSOP gold bracelet.

Stay tuned for full chip counts and a recap of the day.
Action was heads-up to the river of a board showing Q♣J♠K♣4♠6♣ and James Chen sliding out a bet.
After taking some time, the call was made and Chen revealed Q♠10♣9♥2♣ for a flush. That was good to take down the pot, adding more chips to his stack before the end of the night.

The tournament director has just announced the final three hand of the night before the players bag for Day 2 restart tomorrow June 19th at 1:00 p.m.
The flop of 10♣9♥5♠ was on the felt and Alon Yehudai fired a pot-sized bet of 70,000. Jason Bral made the call.
When the 6♠ landed on the river, Yehudai pushed his remaining stack of about 140,000 across the line and Bral snap-called by dropping a chip.
Alon Yehudai: K♦Q♥10♥9♦
Jason Bral: 9♠8♣7♦5♦
Bral turned the straight against the two pair of Yehudai and the K♠ river was no help for Yehudai as he exited the table.

Brian Hastings opened 22,000 in early position and Alexander Saltzman called in the cutoff. The small blind was down to just 10,000 and called as well before the big blind came along.
The action checked to the 7♥6♣4♥K♥ turn, where the big blind and Hastings checked once more. Saltzman fired 27,000 across the line, forcing the big blind and Hastings cards into the muck and both the live hands were revealed.
Small Blind: A♦10♦4♠3♦
Alexander Saltzman: A♥K♣10♣2♥
The 4♦ landed on the river and Saltzman's flush was good, sendind the small blind to the rail.
