Chance Kornuth Leads a Star-Studded Field in Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Day 1 of the star-studded Event #68: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em has come to an end after ten levels, and none other than Chance Kornuth has bagged one of the top stacks after registering at the very last moment at the conclusion of the last break of the day. He bagged up 192,600 chips and looks to lock up his second WSOP gold bracelet.

The day began with about 400 entries but that number quickly multiplied, reaching a total of 1,349 entries at the start of Level 9 when registration was officially closed. The prize pool ballooned to a whopping total of $3,642,300, guaranteeing 203 players a minimum payout of $4,496. That number doesn't mean much to most, however, as the top prize is paying out $645,922 and a coveted gold bracelet. Last year's event attracted 1,125 entries, proving this level of buy-in is definitely attractive to players of all kinds.

Some of the notable players to make it through to Day 2 include Michael Delvecchio III (153,100), Matt Salsberg (111,500), Igor Kurganov (101,000), Dietrich Fast (98,500), Joe Serock (97,300), Valentin Vornicu (74,200), Ben Keeline (73,500), Dylan Wilkerson (64,500), David Pham (54,900), Natasha Mercier (54,000), Matt Affleck (52,300), Norberto Korn (46,100), DJ MacKinnon (38,600), Andy Frankenberger (33,500), Jonathan Little (31,300), Kevin Eyster (29,700), Everett Carlton (28,500), Daniel Strelitz (25,500), Gordon Vayo (25,300), Ray Romano (22,700), Marton Czuczor (22,300), John Racener (21,200), Ralph Perry (21,000), Jiachen Gong (18,000), Ryan Laplante (14,300), and Alex Keating (13,100).

As expected, with so many well-known players in the field, not everyone could make it through. Some of the players who took a shot today but were unable to make Day 2 included Kristen Bicknell, Jerry Yang, Cate Hall, Kitty Kuo, Tim Reilly, Mohsin Charania, Jason Koon, and Patrick Serda.

Day 2 begins tomorrow at noon in Miranda, and the tournament is 145 spots away from the money. Keep following along as the PokerNews live reporting teams brings you all of the major updates on the way to crowning yet another WSOP champion.
