The real World Series of Poker Main Event starts on Thursday, but the tune-up — Event #65: $1,000 Mini Main Event -- kicked off at 11 a.m. PT Wednesday, and the Day 1 session, which lasted over 14 hours, was action-packed.

Players flocked to the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino to compete for a bracelet. Within a few 30-minute levels, both the Pavilion and Brasilia rooms were packed full of Mini Main Event competitors. In total, 3,821 players registered for the freezeout, including a number of high-profile players such as Tony Dunst, Shaun Deeb, and Joe McKeehen, all of whom failed to advance to Day 2, which will take place on Thursday.

Martin Jacobson, the 2014 world champion, however, bagged 1,200,000 at the end of Day 1 and seeks to become a Main Event and Mini Main Event champion.

Other notable names advancing to Day 2 include Farid Jattin (2,240,000), Ismael Bojang (1,850,000), Michael Lech (1,040,000), and Marle Cordeiro (855,000).
