Jesse Sylvia Runs Into Aces

[user339872]

Nível 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jesse Sylvia came into the day looking to duplicate the deep run he had in 2012 when he finished as the runner-up in the WSOP Main Event for $ 5,295,149. The day started off strong for Sylvia as he chipped up nicely through the first couple levels.

Since dinner break, however, Sylvia has lost parts of his stack in various pots and was down to around 35,000 chips. Then, he got involved in a preflop raising war with one of his opponents, and once they were all in, the cards were tabled.

Sylvia showed but was behind his opponent's . Unfortunately for Sylvia, he wasn't able to hit a queen, and his Main Event ended partway through Day 1b.

Day 1b Registration Closes

mnuwwarah

Nível 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.

Year	Day 1b Entries	Total Entries
2017	2,164	?
2016	1,733	6,737
2015	1,716	6,420
2014	2,144	6,683
2013	1,942	6,352
2012	2,114	6,598
