Some 1,700 players continued their journey after the fields from Day 1a and 1b were combined, with many notable names making a deep run. The total of 7,962 entries created a prize pool of $10,627,935, and the top 1,195 spots earning a minimum payout of $2,400. The champion will earn the coveted WSOP gold bracelet along with the top prize of $1,125,189.

The 2016 WSOP Main Event champion Qui Nguyen was eliminated late in the night, as were Veronica Brill and Faraz Jaka after they were knocked out on the same hand by Cahill. Jerod Smith bagged a healthy stack after hitting a three-outer to save his tournament life.
