Yesterday the WSOP-C Las Vegas Main Event had its best turnout in the six-year history of the event, with 496 players taking a seat at the tables to play for the title. By the end of the day, Las Vegas local Cody Slaubaugh had amassed the biggest stack, increasing his original count 20 times over by bagging up 401,900 chips, good for a lead of almost 100,000 over Adam Hui, Mary Jones and Brian England, his next closest competitors.

Today the tournament starts to stretch out by increasing the levels from 40 minutes to 60 minutes. With blinds starting at 15k / 30k and an average stack of roughly 120k, the tournament is at that magic "rubber band" average stack size of 40 big blinds that it will maintain all the way through the final table.

The plan for the 84 players who return for Day 2 is to play 10 levels or to the final table of nine, whichever comes first. With 54 places being paid, more than half of the room will go home happy today (or at least, not as disappointed as they might otherwise have been).

Play starts at noon local time, in about 15 minutes.
