Day 1a of Event #84: $600 Ultra Stack No-Limit Hold'em is over, with 284 players progressing to Day 2. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) did not supply an official attendance; this will be rectified during Day 1b on July 8.
Michael Bell (2,635,000) enjoyed a fruitful day at the tables, turning his 60,000 starting stack into a colossal pile of more than 2.3 million. Ball will return on Day 2 with the equivalent of 95 big blinds in his stack and a realistic shot at his first WSOP bracelet.
Lee Clark (1,620,000), Yijie Zhang (1,590,000), Bhavin Khatri (1,555,000), and Felix Weis (1,485,000) occupy the top five places.

Hollywood star Shannon Elizabeth bought into this event, which added some glitz and glam to the occasion. Elizabeth was looking for her first WSOP cash since 2010, when she finished second in the $5,000 Ante Up for Africa event. However, it was not meant to be, and Elizabeth busted out before the curtain came down on Day 1a.
Some of the grinders who did progress to Day 2 included Steve Wilkie (1,340,000), Yucel Eminoglu (755,000), Kenny Hallaert (665,000), champion boxer Audley Harrison (595,000), Daniel Smiljkovic (595,000), and Mike Leah (220,000).
Day 1b of this event starts at 2:00 p.m. local time on July 8, where the entrants play for 20 levels, each spanning 30 minutes. Those who progress from Day 1b join up with the Day 1a survivors at 1:00 p.m. on July 9, where they will play 17 40-minute levels or down to only five players.
