It was a short day for Day 1c of the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at the Lodge Casino — at least for poker tournament standards. The day last eight hours with 150 players originally sitting down hoping to build up a stack to contend with the survivors from yesterday. After 12 action-packed levels, Evan Ross led the way with 141,100 in chips. Following Ross in the counts are WSOP gold bracelet winner Mitch Schock (116,300) and Randy Nguyen (109,100).

From Day 1c, 58 players are moving on to Day 2 to join the 76 who moved on from Day 1a and 1b. Amongst those who are still alive are David “ODB” Baker (89,800), Phillip Hui (65,700), Michael Taylor (54,000) and Michael Sanders (19,800), who is looking for back-to-back tournament victories here in Black Hawk.

Unfortunately, not everyone was able to make it through the day. Along the way we lost two-time bracelet winner Carter Phillips, Eric Roussakis, Rex Clinkscales and Chris Conrad. All of these players have fired two bullets and are therefore done in this tournament.

There are a few notables who busted on their first bullet today. That list includes Nghi Van Tran, La Sengphet, “Cowboy” John Land and WSOP Circuit Lake Tahoe Main Event champion Cary Marshall. These players will have the option to come back tomorrow and buy in directly to Day 2. If they do so, they will have a stack of 20,000 with the blinds starting at 700/1,400/200.

That does it for us here today. Tomorrow, the 134 survivors from flights 1a, 1b and 1c will return and join any other players who still have the option to buy in tomorrow morning. When they all get together, the plan is to play until Level 25 or until the final table is reached, whichever comes first.

Be sure to come back right here to Pokernews for all the flops, turns and rivers straight from the tournament floor. Until then, goodnight from Colorado!
