Aaron Massey Chip Leads the Final 143 Players Heading Into Day 2 of the WSOPC Harrahs $1,700 Main Event
The World Series of Poker Circuit at Harrah’s $1,700 Main Event Day 2 starts at 1:00 p.m. local time. Day 1a and Day 1b pulled in 665 entries with just 143 bagging stacks for Day 2.
This event generated a total prize pool of $1,007,475 and will be paying the top 100 spots.
A min-cash will be worth $2,555 and the eventual winner will take home $192,199 along with a WSOP Circuit ring.
Starting the day with the overall chip lead is Aaron Massey who bagged large in Day 1b and he will look to add another deep run to end out the year.

Some big names that are still in contention for the title include Mike Leah (254,500), Jared Jaffee (254,000), Ryan Leng (249,500), Mike Cordell (245,000), Dylan Linde (144,500), Joe McKeehen (137,500), Ben Yu (108,000) and Manig Loeser (69,500).
Day 2 Schedule
Play will begin at 1 p.m. local time with blinds picking up at level 16 where blinds are 2,000/4,000/4,000. The plan is to play a total of ten 60-minute levels and there will be a 15-minute break between every two. A dinner break will take place at the end of level 21 and all remaining by nights end will bag up for the final day.
There will be 143 players returning for Day 2 action with 100 spots grabbing a piece of the prize pool. Starting the day this close to the money might make for some conservative play, but judging by the first two flights the tournament should retain the action-filled play that has been up to this point. A min-cash will be paying $2,555, but all eyes will be on the $192,199 first-place prize that the eventual champion will be taking home, along with a shiny new gold ring.
The survivors of Day 2 will come back for Day 3 on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. local time on Sunday which will play down to an eventual champion.

Joe Walters Captures First Ring in Event #1: $250 No-Limit Hold'em
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas.
In Event #1: $250 NLH, 362 runners created a $72,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 55 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Steve Foutty (11th - $1,075), James Nortier (13th- $886), Anthony Cirrito (19th - $634), Joseph Young (27th - $505), and Chris Wallace (36th - $436).
In the end, it was Missouri native Joe Walters who collected every chip in play to capture his first ring along with a $14,838 payday.
Walters won his first World Series of Poker Circuit ring for taking down the opening event at the Harrah's Las Vegas World Series of Poker Circuit. Walters also has the honor of calling himself the first Harrah's Las Vegas Circuit ring winner this decade. The last time the WSOP Circuit was at this property was in 2005.
"It feels good," said Walters. "It was my goal at the beginning of the year to earn a ring."
This marks Walters third Circuit cash of the season and fourth of his career. He made a deep run at the new Ameristar St. Charles stop in September in a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event, but fell just short of the final table, finishing in 11th place for $1,292.
