"Boston" Rob Mariano among the players we expect to reenter

Welcome back to the Crescent City of New Orleans, Louisiana for Day 1b of the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's New Orleans Main Event. Day 1a attracted a total of 316 players, and leading the remaining 51 was NOLA's own Ben Mintz. Mintz bagged a whopping 313,000 chips, and will certainly be a threat entering into Day 2 on Sunday.

We expect to see a large field today, including Day 1a bust-outs Bryan Campanello, Josh Arieh, Ray Henson, David Baker, Larry Wright, David Nicholson, Kurt Jewell, Ralph Massey, and others.

Choctaw Main Event winner Jeff Fielder didn't play on Day 1a, but that's because he was busying going deep in a $1,000 side event. He eventually finished runner-up, earning $40,491.

The cards will be in the air in roughly 30 minutes, and just like yesterday, we will be playing 15 40-minute levels and then a single 60-minute level. The surviving players will then bag and tag for the evening and return on Sunday for Day 2.

Be sure to keep it locked for all of your live, up-to-the-minute updates from the tournament floor.
