415 Players
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
With 415 players today, not only is today's Day 1c bigger than last year's, the field for the entire Main Event is as well. So far we have 888 entrants or 16 more than last year's 872. Late registration is still open for another 25 minutes, so we should expect the final entry count for the tournament to get slightly bigger.

. The button and small blind both call creating a pot of around 4,000 heading into the flop.
The 
appear on the flop giving Baumann two over cards and a nut-flush draw. She leads out for 2,500, the player from the button calls with the third player check-folding.
The 
on the turn is of no help to Baumann, however, she keeps the aggression on betting 5,500. Her opponent raised to 14,500 which she called. The river didn't help either player with both checking. Baumann was down to about 12,000 chips after he opponent showed top-pair with 
.
Shortly afterwards, Baumann doubled up to around 25,000 after she got it all-in with 
which help against her opponents 
.
