Day 1a of Event 10: $1,700 Main Event of the 2019 WSOP Circuit Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is in the books after a long day of action.

Some 296 players took their aim at the long road to a coveted WSOP Circuit Ring and when the chips stopped flying, just 57 players remained. Leading those remaining players was Mihaly Lukacs who bagged a whopping 404,000, which is a full 100,000 more than the next closest player. The Hungarian player was spotted toward the end of play as he took a large pot off of previous big stack Scott Efron and he would ride that wave to the end of play.

Some distance behind in second place was Tyler Phillips who ended play with 292,000. James Kirvin bagged 279,000, which was good enough for third place. Steven Sarmiento (275,000) and Thomas Alcorn (265,000) rounded out the top five chip counts.

Other notable players to advance to Day 2 include; Timothy Miles (156,500), who had a roller coaster toward the end of the day but finished with a healthy stack, Jake Schwartz (151,000) and Ian O’Hara (143,500).

Many players who attempted to make Day 2 failed in their attempt and will have to try again on Day 1b if they wish to advance, including Irene Carey, Loni Harwood, Allen Kessler and local South Florida rapper Kevin Pouya.

The players who survived Day 1a shall join those who survive Day 1b, which begins at 11 a.m. local time on Saturday September 28 to converge for Day 2 on Sunday.

Just like Day 1a, PokerNews will keep you abreast of all of the Day 1b action
