Right now, more than 2,000 players have entered the tournament. Late registration is still open a little short of six more hours.

There's also a Day 1b tomorrow and players can make one reentry per flight.

It looks like Barry Greenstein has won some pots. Last time we checked, he had about 6,000 in front of him and right now it's more than double that amount.

After a player opened to 300 and another player called, Greenstein made it 1,200 and that was enough to make both opponents fold and take down the pot.

Maurice Hawkins opted for a reentry and is two tables away from Greenstein.

We're not sure about the previous bet sizing, but we do know that Maurice Hawkins put out a four-bet to 2,450 with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

His opponent called and there was a {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. Hawkins bet 1,600 with his pocket aces and saw his opponent move all in. Hawkins made the call and appeared visibly surprised he was still live against {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Clubs} to give his opponent a straight. Hawkins was eliminated but he has the opportunity to buy himself back in the tournament since players can do one reentry per flight.
