Day 1b of Event #34: $1,000 Double Stack No-Limit Hold'em is in the books. The new event for the 2018 World Series of Poker is a smashing hit, with the second flight attracting a field of 3,314 entries to create a bumper field of 5,700 entries. 1,280 of them are left standing after both starting days. With the both flights combined, a mouth-watering prize pool of $5,130,000 has been created. The last player standing will parlay his initial $1,000 investment into a life-altering $644,224 first place prize, along with a coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Once the bubble bursts on Day 2, 855 players will be secured of a min-cash of $1,500.

Bracelet winner Rulah Divine bagged one of the top stacks from today's flight with a stack of 145,100. Divine finished first last year in Event #63: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. He will be looking to add another bracelet to his collection. Day 1b chipleader is Mike Tayakama of the Philippines with 177,400 in chips. Takayama is an experienced player who already boasts over $600,000 in lifetime winnings and made his first six-figure cash just two months ago.

Following Takayama are Eimantas Adomavicius with 168,500 and WSOP Circuit Ring winner Vinny Pahuja with 167,100 in chips. Other notables through to Day 2 include bracelet winners Loni Harwood (23,000), Chris Moorman (67,200),Niall Farrell (58,000), Bertrand Grospellier (20,700), Chris Ferguson (12,200), along with Giuseppe Pantaleo (131,600), Anatoly Filatov (9,500), Harry Lodge (6,500), Manig Loeser (28,700) and Ari Engel (38,800). They will be joined tomorrow by some other big name survivors from the first flight of this event.

Notables who took a shot at glory but could not find it in this event include bracelet winner Heidi May, 2015 WSOP November Niner Federico Butteroni, Dan O'Brien, Joao Vieira and Walter Treccarichi.

All 1,285 remaining players will come back on Monday, June 18, at 12 p.m. local time in level 11 and blinds of 500/1,100 with a 100 ante. Follow along with PokerNews as we bring start-to-finish coverage of all the bracelet events at the 2018 World Series of Poker.
