On a board of {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} Matt Rolfe tossed out a bet totalling 2,200 and was called shortly after by his opponent.

"Did I win?" joked Rolfe, before tabling {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for trip eights with a queen-kicker.

His opponent smiled before revealing his {a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a full house and took down the early pot.

The fourth and final starting flight for the WSOP International Circuit Main Event kicks off at 12:30pm local time at The Star here in Sydney. Day 1C, which was played out yesterday, received 334 entries, and today’s field is expected to smash that number out of the park.

Alongside the current chip leaders, a whole slew of familiar faces have already advanced to Day 2. Among them are 2018 WSOP Main Event 7th place finisher Alex Lynskey (404,000), recent WSOPC Sydney High Roller and Six-Max champions Luke Martinelli (334,000) and Huss Hassan (260,500), six-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro (159,500) and defending WSOPC Sydney main event champion Michael Kanaan (126,000).

All Day 1’s play out over the course of fourteen 45-minute levels and every player begins with 30,000 starting chips. Late registration will remain open until 5.20pm local time. This is everyone's last chance to find a bag as they try to progress to Day 2.
