Cantu tabled for a flush and he raked in this pot.

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The World Series of Poker Main Event attracted 2,144 runners for Day 1b. Combining that with the 771 entrants from Day 1a gives the 2014 Main Event a total of 2,915 competitors so far in action and chasing after the $10 million guaranteed first-place prize.

While some might've been down on the Day 1a field being less than that of 2013, today more than made up for it. Furthermore, the WSOP tweeted out that Day 1c's number is already higher than both Day 1a and Day 1b combined, which means things are looking nice and plump for the third and final starting day.

Kristy Arnett made it 650 to go from early position and found a single call from a middle positioned player. The flop came down and Arnett fired 900 and her opponent quickly called, allowing the to drop down on fourth street.
