Early Pressure from Roux

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cristian Dan raised from middle position to 85,000, and only Stephane Roux called from the small blind.

Roux executed a check-raise on the 4J5 flop, making it 250,000 after Dan had continued for 80,000. Dan called before both players checked the K turn.

The river brought the K, and after a moment's thought, Roux moved all in for roughly 490,000. There was no resistance from Dan, who returned his cards to the dealer, awarding the pot to Roux.

Wike Finds a Ten and a Double

Wooyang Lin raised to 90,000 from under the gun, John Wike then moved all in for 265,000 and was at risk from middle position. The rest of the table folded, and Lin made the call, pleased to see he was ahead.

John Wike: Q10 All in
Wooyang Lin: QJ

The 1073 flop flipped the script, the turn Q and river 2 did not change things, and Wike found a timely double up.

Hosted at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas, the combined entries across Day 1a and Day 1b saw a staggering 10,794 players, besting last year's numbers by more than 4,500 contenders. The huge turnout has created a total prize pool of $7,937,277, with the winner taking home $843,140.

After 22 levels of play across their respective flights, 859 players survived to bag their chips and return to play Day 2 today, Tuesday, July 1, at 11 a.m. local time.

Each of the returning players has guaranteed themselves a minimum prize of $2,410, but all will be daring to dream of greener pastures. Just five of today’s returning field will progress to Day 3, with a chance to battle it out for the lion’s share of the prize pool and a much-desired WSOP gold bracelet.

Leading the way into Day 2 is Bernard Kobis. Having bagged a stack of 7,770,000, Kobis will be returning with a stack worth 194 big blinds and will hope to continue his momentum throughout the day. Completing the podium places are Chakib Mhiri (7,480,000) and Jens Ullrich (7,355,000)
