The opening day of the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Hammond Main Event is a wrap, with 372 total entries coming through for Day 1a of this $1,700 buy-in event at the Horseshoe Hammond Casino in Hammond, Indiana.

That field of 372 narrowed down to 67 at the end of the night, and those 67 survivors will advance to Day 2, scheduled for Sunday. Among the chip leaders in the Day 1a field are names like David Jackson (511,000), who won a couple of big hands in the latter levels of the night to end the flight at over a half-million chips.

Other players bagging at the end of the night included Chris Karambinis (373,000), Nicola Ditrapani (363,500), Hao "John" Sun (351,500), Christian Kennedy (312,000), and former WSOP bracelet winner Chad Holloway (305,500).

The field played through 15 forty-minute levels Friday, and the Main Event will continue Saturday with Day 1b. The survivors of that flight will join Friday's Day 1a survivors, and come back as a combined field for Day 2 Sunday. The tournament will play down to a winner on Day 3, scheduled for Monday.

Some of the players coming in for Day 1a, but not bagging at the end of the night, include Josh Reichard, Keven Stammen, Samuel Cosby, Neil Patel, Bryant Miller and Ralph Massey.

All of those players, however, still have a shot at advancing to Day 2, as this single re-entry tournament continues with Day 1b Saturday.
