Evelyn Ng, Kirsty Gazes, Tiffany Michelle, Maya Gellar and Katja Thater were just some of the names to start the day - but they would all find a place on the rail by day's end.
Tamara Tibbles took the chip lead after dinner break, and never let go -- peaking at 130,000 before finishing the day with 129,700. Even with a clear chip lead over her next rival, Tibbles will have to keep a look out for the previous Champion Svetlana Gromenkova (62,800), Patti Zarosky (51,000), Lisa Parsons (46,300) and Lauren Kling (44,200).
Maria Ho (24,800) and JJ Liu (38,300) still have their chance at capturing their first bracelet and first WSOP cash of the series, as both will be aiming for the $195,390 first prize, gold bracelet and title of Ladies World Champion!
