Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
David Peters

With around 7,000 in the pot on a {5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades} board, four-time bracelet winner David Peters, from the hijack, put out a bet of 6,000.

Arne Kern, who won the 2018 Millionaire Maker, made a swift laydown.

Peters, who was off to a slow start, is now nearly back at starting stack at the end of the first level.

Brandon Adams and Paul Volpe are also in Bally's Silver, currently on 56,500 and 68,000, respectively.

Stout Delivers Ultimate Cooler, Graber Escapes With Chips

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Brittney Stout
Brittney Stout

Brittney Stout opened from middle position, Joseph Graber three-bet on her immediate left. Action folded back to Stout who put in the four-bet. Graber responded with a five-bet to 21,600. Stout flatted from out of position.

The flop brought the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Stout checked to Graber, who bet 9,000, to which Stout check-called.

The turn fell the {j-Clubs}. Stout saw the single 25,000 chip left in Graber's stack and decided to lead out for that amount, putting Graber to a decision for all his chips in level one.

"I said I'd fold these if it happened in level one," said Graber, effectively telling the table his hand.

Eventually, he did fold and showed the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} face up.

"Show one time," the table pleaded of Stout. She didn't, but she did tell her neighbor she had the aces.

"I didn't want you to fold preflop, that's why I just flatted. I almost put it in on the flop," said Stout.

"My intention was to bet-fold the flop. I don't know if I would have," reflected Graber.

Either way, Stout chipped up big early and Graber escaped the ultimate no-limit cooler with chips behind.

Details of some early action and bet amounts were relayed by Graber, Stout, and others at the table.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Preflop action had Adrian Mateos raising to 500 from the big blind and getting called from the cutoff, hijack and Nancy Birnbaum in the small blind.

The flop came down {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Birnbaum checked to Mateos who bet 700. The hijack and button folded and Birnbaum called.

The {j-Diamonds} showed up on the turn and Birnbaum check-raised Mateos' 2,200 bet up to 7,000. Mateos called the raise.

On the river was the {7-Spades} to pair the board and Birnbaum checked to Mateos, who bet 22,000. Birnbaum went into the tank and studied the board, contemplating calling before deciding to fold. She showed her tough laydown against the four-time bracelet winner, {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for an ace-high flush.

Ausmus Continues Hot Start With a Knockout

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

Jeremy Ausmus had already been off to a hot start to his Main Event before scoring this knockout.

After there was a raise to 1,500, Ausmus put in a reraise to 7,500 from early position. The late position player moved all in for his remaining 15,000. Action folded back around to Ausmus, who made the snap-call.

Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-}
Jeremy Ausmus: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Ausmus had his opponent dominated, and the {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} runout was a safe one. Ausmus scooped the pot while his opponent headed for the rail, seemingly in disbelief to have had his tournament run come to an end so soon.

"You ruined him with that flush earlier," a player from across the table said to Ausmus.

"I need to do this on Day 4 or 5, not Day 1," Ausmus commented.

Nevertheless, Ausmus has quickly grown one of the biggest stacks in today's field as he hopes to make a run at Poker's most sought-after bracelet.

The fourth and final starting flight of Event #70: $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event is slated to kick off beginning at 11 a.m. local time on Wednesday.

Many have predicted this year's tournament to surpass the previous record of 8,773 entrants set back in the 2006 Main Event. Day 1c added 1,800 entrants to the field, bringing the running total up to 3,580 players. With the largest flight yet to come and late registration still open, there's no telling how big this field will become.

Patrick Clarke (397,200) leads the way of all remaining players after a spectacular performance on Day 1c. He surpassed both the Day 1a leader, Cedrric Trevino (317,800) and the Day 1b leader, Patrick Hagenlocher. The top five after three flights is rounded out by Day 1c's Marcus Stein (336,800) and David Eldridge (308,000).

Some other big names to bag stacks in Day 1c included 2015 champion Joe McKeehen (95,000), Rafael Moraes (172,800), Maria Ho (116,700), Brian Hastings (136,900), and JJ Liu (131,500).

Each player will sit down with 60,000 chips. Play today will consist of five 120-minute levels, with a 20-minute break following levels 1, 2, and 4. A 75-minute dinner break will follow Level 3.

This is the fourth and final starting flight for Event #70: $10,000 WSOP Main Event 53rd No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Late registration will remain open through seven levels, meaning players are able to late register through the first two levels of either Day 2. Players who survive today in Day 1d will return on Friday, July 8 for Day 2d. (View the complete structure sheet here.)

Recently, WSOP organizers opted to move Day 1c survivors to the first Day 2 as they anticipate a huge crowd to turn up for Day 1d, giving today's survivors their own Day 2. WSOP Officials, in anticipation of a massive Day 1d field, have warned players to be prepared for 10-handed play and long lines for alternate seating
