From the first day of action, just 124 players bagged and tagged a stack. Leading the pack of survivors is Ray Hughes, who bagged a massive 407,000, almost seven times the starting stack. Not far behind him are Sterling Savill (342,000) and Chino Rheem (273,500).

Other notable names who have jumped over the first hurdle include Daniel Negreanu (191,500), Brian Hastings (177,500) and defending champion Josh Arieh (189,000).

Looking for WSOP bracelet number 17 was Phil Hellmuth, however, his quest for another piece of WSOP hardware came to an early finish after he was despatched by Rheem. Other famous faces who failed to make it to the next stage were Danny Chang, Mike Matusow and Talal Shakerchi.

The prize pool and payouts have yet to be confirmed but will be announced when Day 2 gets underway. As this is the highest number of entries for this event, a record-setting prize pool is on the cards.
