After 17 40-minute levels at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Day 1 of 2023 WSOP Event #56: $500 Salute to Warriors came to an end close to the money bubble with 654 players remaining. This event gathered a record-breaking crowd of 4,303 entrants, up from 3,209 in 2022.

Charlemagne Benjamin bagged up the biggest stack of the Day, an impressive 1,300,000. Two-time WSOP champion Ryan Eriquezzo (1,216,000), and Kyle Miholich (1,121,000) round out the top three.

The record-breaking field generated a prize pool of $1,764,230, and 646 players will share this money once the bubble bursts, which is expected to happen very early into Day 2. A min-cash is worth $800, with the eventual champion returning home with $217,921 and the all-important WSOP bracelet.

Among the notable players still in contention include Lithuanian player Vladas Tamasauskas (685,000), Austrian Samuel Mullur (618,000), Kenny Hallaert (239,000), and Barry Greenstein (145,000).

Many well-known players failed to navigate their way to Day 2, including Ryan Riess, Benjamin Rolle, Samy Boujmala, Bart Lybaert, Maria Konnikova, Perry Friedman, and Chris Da-Silva.

Play resumes on June 26 at 10:00 a.m. local time, with the money bubble looming, and play down to 15 players or 17 levels, whichever comes first. There will be 15-minute breaks every three levels and a dinner break after Level 26 (around 4:30 p.m.).

The players will come back on Level 18, which means blinds are 6,000/12,000 with a 12,000 big blind ante.

Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team will bring you all of the action throughout the day.
