Today, the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas will be filled to the brim as Day 1d of Event #81: $10,000 WSOP Main Event No-Limit Hold'em World Championship, begins at noon local time. The final starting flight of the Main Event has historically been by far the biggest and the expectation is it will be no different for the 2024 World Series Of Poker.
The first three flights saw a combined entry count of 4,264, of which 3,143 progressed to Day 2abc on July 7. The survivors of Day 1d will bag up for their own Day 2, Day 2d on July 8. So far, the numbers are about 1,000 players behind a record-breaking pace, but with a surge in registration on Day 1d and the first two levels of the two Day 2s, where late registration is still open, the 10,000-player mark may still be crossed.
If today's entries want to crown themselves overall chipleader, they will have to surpass Robert Pardo, who bagged up a massive pile of 441,000 chips at the end of Day 1c. Pardo is the only player so far who managed to cross seven starting stacks as he will be looking for the Main Event cash of his career. Pardo is followed by Zyad Qasem, who accumulated 390,300 chips on the penultimate starting flight of poker's flagship event and has his eyes on consecutive Main Event cashes.
Meanwhile, Day 1b leader George Dolofan and Day 1a chipleader Joshua Feiger ended their flights with 314,000 and 311,900 chips, respectively. Other big names who bagged big include Frank Funaro (265,000), Alexandru Papazian (235,000), Naoya Kihara (228,300), Pedro Bromfman (224,600), and $25K Fantasy pick Arthur Morris (221,800).
No less than 14 Main Event champions made it through their selected starting flights thus far, with only 2004 World Champion Greg Raymer failing to find a bag. Many more faces displayed on the winners' banners inside the Horseshoe Event Center are expected to show up today as they work their way through the five 120-minute levels on the schedule.
The players will start with 60,000 chips in Level 1, blinds 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. After every level, there will be a 20-minute break, with an extended 75-minute dinner break after Level 3. Late registration will remain open throughout the whole day and, as always with the prestigious WSOP Main Event, players are allowed only one entry in total.
