Day 1 of the Event #31: $1,500 Seven Card Stud has concluded with Farhad Mobassery and Ron Brown sharing the chip lead over the remaining approximately 82 players.

310 players would take a seat throughout the day, and with it would see last year's numbers surpassed as a prize pool of $418,500 would be created that will see the final 47 players guaranteed a $2,250 payday, while $105,629 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet will be awaiting whoever can ascend to the top.

Leading those players are Farhad Mobassery and Ron Brown, who bagged 80,800 and 79,300 to claim the top two spots.
