Day 1a Ends Short of the Money; Dube Leads, Hellmuth's Bracelet Hunting

Nível 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mark Dube is the man to catch going into Day 2 of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em event after turning his 4,500 starting stack into a tournament leading stack of 160,300 over the course of 11 hours of play.

Dube has already cashed twice at the 2014 World Series of Poker, a 380th place finish in Event #8 and an 84th place in Event #15, and is almost guaranteed to make it three in the money finishes due to his monster stack and the fact there are 178 players returning on Thursday and 171 of those will be paid.

Joining Dube at the top end of the chip counts is Dan Smith, who bought into the tournament at the last possible moment and ran his stack up to an impressive 132,800. Smith was already cruising when he won a massive flip with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} versus {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} to boost his stack to 127,500. He then added a few extra chips to his stack during the last few hands of night.

Other notables who punched their ticket for Day 2 include Travell Thomas (88,000), Martin Finger (85,700), Mike McDonald (81,900), Max Silver (80,100), Scott Clements (75,100), Darren Elias (52,400), Brandon Cantu (50,400), Jude Ainsworth (36,400) and 13-time WSOP champion Phil Hellmuth (34,600).

Plenty of big names failed to progress to Thursday’s second day of play. These included Allen Kessler, Barry Greenstein, Dan Kelly, Maria Ho, Dominik Nitsche, Stephen Chidwick, Joseph Cheong, Michael Mizrachi and Jason Mercier.

Day 2 commences at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday and the money bubble should burst within the first level of play. The plan is to then attempt to whittle the field down as close to the nine-handed final table as possible.

It should be another amazing day of poker so make sure you return to PokerNews.com on Thursday afternoon to keep up with all of the action, as it happens, from Event #26 of the 2014 WSOP.

Big Fields, Big Names Go Bracelet Hunting in Event #26

2014 WSOP Gold Bracelet
2014 WSOP Gold Bracelet

The third week of the 45th annual World Series of Poker, now celebrating 10 years at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, has begun and today sees Event #26: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em get underway shortly.

This marks the second full-ring, $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold'em event of the 2014 WSOP (outside of the Millionaire Maker), with a field of 2,086 taking part in the first one, Event #19, won by Ted Gillis of Houston, Texas.

We are expecting another huge field today as more and more players arrive in Vegas and those who haven’t yet cashed will no doubt be jumping in, too, trying to put that right. We are expecting a strong showing from the well-known pros as well as those desperate to burst on to the scene and write their names into the history books of poker.

Cards are in the air at 12 noon for 11 levels of play today. Come back then as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will bring you all the action over the next three days as we find out together who the next bracelet winner will be.
