Nine-Eight-Five

Registration for Day 1b of the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event has come to a close, and the official number of entrants is 985 - only 88 more players than Day 1a, and 504 players less than Day 1b of the 2010 Main Event.

Combined, Days 1a and 1b have attracted 1,882 players (732 less than last year), so we're expecting the numbers on Day 1c and Day 1d to be even bigger than previously projected.
