After a quick stroll through the field we've spotted some familiar faces in the field. Most are on their second buy in but others skipped the morning affair.
There is a very long line of players registering for Day 1b, so the tournament staff has decided to delay the start. We'll let you know when the cards are in the air here in Atlantic City.
The second Day 1 flight of the WSOPC Harrah's Atlantic City Main Event is about to begin. The early flight saw 339 players pony up the $1,600 entrance fee and tournament officials hope to see the total number climb above 500 total entrants.
We've been told that there are 135 players registered as of now and that number is sure to climb.

We'll get you a list of the notables and re-entries from players that busted earlier as soon as possible. Follow all the action live on Pokernews.com
