Cary Marshall won the Main Event at Harvey's Lake Tahoe last November, pocketing $139,620 in the process. Well Marshall is here looking for another Main Event ring, and he has some momentum on his side following a 3rd place finish in the $580 preliminary event yesterday. However, it's not been a great day for him so far, as he is down to 9,000.

The players are taking their first 10 minute break of the day.
The list of notables in today's Day 1c is slowly growing, as we just spotted a few familiar faces. We saw three time ring winner La Sengphet, bracelet winner Mitch Schock, and Erik Roussakis, who made back-to-back Circuit Main Event final tables just a few months ago, finishing 5th at Harrah's Rincon in December, and 9th at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles.
