Players Now on 90-Minute Dinner Break
Now that Level 3 has come to an end and players are on a 90-minute dinner break, Day 1c is officially more than halfway done. While official numbers haven't been released, World Series of Poker officials have already confirmed that today's field was the largest starting flight in Main Event history, surpassing last year's Day 1c field of 3,418. Needless to say, that's generated some excitement here at the Rio and everyone is anxiously awaiting final numbers for the 2013 WSOP.
Level 3 saw the all-time WSOP bracelet winner, Phil Hellmuth, make his patented late arrival, and it also saw Freddy Deeb and Marvin Rettenmaier climb the counts.
On the flip side, players like Oleksii Kovalchuk, Emil Patel, Darryll Fish, Phil "The Unabomber" Laak, Yosuke Sekiya and Keith Lehr all hit the rail.
There are still two more levels of play left here on Day 1c, and we'll get to those in an hour and a half. Check back then for all the latest and greatest action from the WSOP Main Event.
