The Saturday faithful have been piling into The Pavilion steadily since Day 1B began just under an hour ago. The clock shows 180 in the game that brings the combined field to better than 500.
We’ll do a lap through the field and provide a glance at some of the notables shortly.

$1,700 Main Event (Single Re-Entry) $1M Guaranteed | Structure Level 15: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 Ante Players remaining: 81 of 323
Flight A reached the last level of the day with nine tables left in action and 40 minutes to run up a stack for Day 2. We have several players in contention for the end-of-night lead and we are tracking them down.
Our two most recent champions are still in the game, though one came in really late. Jerry Wong is fresh off his High Roller title and he finished it with just enough time to max late reg the Main Event. Mitchell Lekarczyk was here yesterday into the early morning hours after he captured the Monster Stack title.
$1,700 Main Event (Single Re-Entry) $1M Guaranteed | Structure Level 14: 1,200/2,400 with a 400 Ante Players remaining: 126 of 323
The accounting is complete and Flight A of the $1 Million Guarantee WSOP Circuit Main Event drew 323 entries. That is a good number for a Friday afternoon/evening of poker and tomorrow’s number will be bigger as they near the seven-digit prize pool mark.
There are 126 players remaining and we expect that number to drop much lower before they bag up after Level 15.
$1,700 Main Event (Single Re-Entry) $1M Guaranteed | Structure Level 13: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante Entries: 323
Flight A players went on their last break of the day and returned to play out the last three levels of the evening. WSOP Circuit winner Hamid Izadi had the biggest stack in the room and with South Florida pro Jake Schwartz the nearest competitor.
They will play through Level 16 and survivors will bag up chips for a return on Sunday for Day 2.
$1,700 Main Event (Single Re-Entry) $1M Guaranteed | Structure Level 11: 600/1,200 with a 200 Ante Entries: 316
As one would expect with a WSOP Circuit Main Event, we have champions in the field from around the state, country, and world mixing with our local favorites.
We have a table in the middle of the room featuring a few of them. Howard Mash has several Coco Poker titles and he is facing Scott Baumstein and Zo Karim on the other side of the table. Baumstein booked his biggest cash earlier this year when he won the WPTDeepStacks Hollywood Main Event and Karim is the current front-runner for the WSOP Circuit Coco Casino Championship with four cashes and two third-place finishes this series so far.
