Both Days 1a and 1b will play out today, and the latter is about to begin. The 5 p.m. CST start time means that the two fields will overlap. Some news players as well as those who've opted to re-enter from the Day 1a flight are beginning to take their seats, and while we'll certainly include some updates from that tournament's early action, we'll be focusing primarily on the Day 1a field until it's completion.

Re-entry events at every stop tend to be among the most successful, and the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Council Bluffs Event #3 $365 NLHE Re-Entry was no different. A robust 562 entries accounted for a $168,600 prize pool, and $35,397 of that was reserved for the eventual winner—21-year-old Zach Smith of Glenwood, Iowa.
“I’ve only played two Circuit events ever, so this is awesome,” Smith said after his win. Apart-time student and a cell phone sales representative with pro aspirations, Smith defeated a tough field that included Stephen Kats (40th), Brett Schwertley (37th), Jose Serratos (33rd), Scott Stanko (18th), William Byrnes (9th), Jessie Bryant (7th) and Kat Bowen (4th). Interestingly, WSOP Circuit ring-winner Bowen was one of only six women to qualify for last year’s WSOP National Championship.
