Wsop Main Event Day 1 B

Sunday July 10,2011 : Event 58: $10,000 Main Event saw 985 hopefuls take to the tables for Day 1b, the second of four Day 1 flights scheduled for the event.
 
Compared with last year's Day 1b entry field the registration numbers were disappointing, declining by some 504 players, but still comprising many top players.
 
They could face the same ignominy as several high profile aces did on Day 1a, where names like Doyle Brunson, Jeffrey Papola, Ari Engel, Tom Schneider, Matt Affleck, Vinny Vinh, Vanessa Selbst, Josh Arieh, Evelyn Ng, Vinny Vinh's chair, Scott Montgomery, Faraz Jaka, and former WSOP Main Event champions Greg Raymer and Jerry Yang all headed for the rail, leaving 560 players from Day 1a, led by Fred Berger in the chip lead on 209,500, to go through to the second day flights.
 
Back to Day 1b: Late night Friday Vegas time the field was down to 626 with three more hands to go before the officials halt the day's activities.
 
Ben Lamb held the chip lead on 215,000 with Guillermo Ramirez in second place with 177,000 and a host of top players still in the field.
