Day 1c of Event #93: $777 Lucky 7's No-Limit Hold'em at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) was the busiest of the three starting flights, with 3,235 entrants joining the action. After 22 intense levels, only 150 of those bagged up stacks, meaning 300 players will return on Day 2.
Marc Rivera (3,255,000) of the Philippines claimed the Day 1c chip lead, some 21 big blinds ahead of Jeffrey Smith (2,380,000), who is just in front of Ukraine's Artem Metalidi (2,375,000) in third.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chips | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marc Rivera | Philippines | 3,255,000 | 81 |
| 2 | Jeffrey Smith | United States | 2,380,000 | 60 |
| 3 | Artem Metalidi | Ukraine | 2,375,000 | 59 |
| 4 | Duc Nguyen | United States | 2,370,000 | 59 |
| 5 | David Baize | United States | 2,000,000 | 50 |
| 6 | Brandon Navarrete | United States | 1,915,000 | 48 |
| 7 | Jared Moore | United States | 1,870,000 | 47 |
| 8 | Justin Datloff | United States | 1,845,000 | 46 |
| 9 | Justin Arnwine | United States | 1,815,000 | 45 |
| 10 | Lukas Hafner | Austria | 1,745,000 | 44 |
Metalidi has almost $3.9 million in live tournament cashes, an impressive total helped by his eighth-place finish in the 2018 WSOP Main Event, which banked the Ukrainian $1,250,000. He was runner-up in a $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed event in 2012 and finished in fourth-place in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed event in 2017. Could this be the tournament where Metalidi captures a WSOP bracelet?
Among the Day 1c survivors are such stars as two-time bracelet winner Ilija Savevski (1,365,000), Jack Duong (1,145,000), Jessica Vierling (1,095,000), Kathy Liebert (1,000,000), and Levi Berger (920,000). Last year's Main Event sixth-place finisher Dean Hutchison (945,000) is through to Day 2, as are Dinesh Alt (460,000), Anthony Spinella (385,000), and Bin Weng (380,000).
Day 2 starts at 10 a.m. local time on July 16. Play will continue for 17 forty-minute levels or until only five players remain, whichever comes first. Fifteen-minute breaks are scheduled every three levels, with a 60-minute dinner break penciled in after Level 31 (around 4:30 p.m. local time).
Return to PokerNews on July 16 to see how this massive event pans out.
There are two players showing as being seated at Table 485 Seat 1. WSOP will rectify this before the start of Day 2.

In what was intended to be a conversation about a slew of near misses over his career, Michael Rocco flipped the script when he revealed that the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) would be his last full series for many years.
And the reason why he'll be reducing his volume at the tables may come as a bit of a shock.
During a break in Event #94: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship, he told PokerNews that he has acquired a farm in the last year, and intends to shift his focus to that venture over his card-playing exploits.
Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 12th episode, Connor speaks with actress and conservationist Shannon Elizabeth on the 25th anniversary of American Pie, in which she played the iconic role of Nadia. Elizabeth talked about her roles in films like Scary Movie and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, playing poker with the cast of That '70s Show, finishing third in the 2007 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship and taking part in Phil Hellmuth's 2024 WSOP Main Event entrance.
Elizabeth also spoke about her conservation efforts in South Africa through the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, including caring for and providing a sanctuary for a blind black rhino named Munu.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Shannon Elizabeth by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
