Day 1b Registration Closes

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Day 1b of the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event attracted 2,164 runners, the biggest number in recent years, surpassing the 2,114 on Day 1b in 2012. That comes following a Day 1a that was also the biggest one in recent memory. It will be interesting to see how Day 1c is affected. Is this a trend that will hold through all flights and result in the biggest Main Event in recent memory, or has the player count merely flattened out a bit and been redistributed to other days from the traditionally massive Day 1c?

Stay tuned tomorrow to find out. In the meantime, here's a look at how Day 1b this year compares to the fields in the past five years.

Rachid Ben Cherif Calls it Right

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Rachid Ben Cherif was in the big blind and check-called a bet on a {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop. The turn card was the {4-Hearts}, and Ben Cherif check-called a bet of 8,500 from his opponent. The river was the {6-Spades}, and Ben Cherif checked one last time. His opponent bet 18,000, and Ben Cherif’s eyes rolled up to the ceiling.

For close to five minutes, Ben Cherif contemplated his decision, squirming around in his seat before calling. His opponent tapped the table and showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a missed draw. Ben Cherif showed his {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for trips to take the pot.
