Also reaching Day 2 was partypoker pro Kara Scott, while fellow pro Jamie Kerstetter hit the rail.
According to the WPT Live Updates Team, Kerstetter moved all in with the A♦K♦ only to run into an opponent's KxKx. The pocket kings held up, and Kerstetter was knocked out.
Darko Stojanovic, Jan Bendik, and David Vamplew also fell on Day 1b. Stojanovic attempted a triple-barrel bluff then was eliminated with an inferior straight, while Vamplew moved all in with AxJx on a completed board of QxQx5x4xAx. Eros Nastasi called with AxQx, and the Scot hit the rail.
Day 1b attracted 92 entrants, bringing the total field size to 143. Registration is open until the start of Day 2 (14:30 local time), and the WPT will release the prize pool information shortly thereafter.
