2017 World Series of Poker
Day 1b of the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event attracted 2,164 runners, the biggest number in recent years, surpassing the 2,114 on Day 1b in 2012. That comes following a Day 1a that was also the biggest one in recent memory. It will be interesting to see how Day 1c is affected. Is this a trend that will hold through all flights and result in the biggest Main Event in recent memory, or has the player count merely flattened out a bit and been redistributed to other days from the traditionally massive Day 1c?
Stay tuned tomorrow to find out. In the meantime, here's a look at how Day 1b this year compares to the fields in the past five years.
