Daniel Hachem raised to 500 in the cutoff and was only called by the small blind. The flop fell A♠K♥7♠ and both players checked to the 10♥ on the turn.

The small blind led out with a bet of 500 on the turn and Hachem just called. The river was the 5♦ and the small blind bet another 500. Hachem raised to 3,000 this time and his opponent looked him up. Hachem turned over A♣5♣ for two pair and his opponent conceded the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player opened to 500 in middle position and Colten Yamagishi called next to act.

The flop came 9♣7♦2♠, and the preflop raiser check-called a bet of 500 from Yamagishi.

The 3♥ fell on the turn and once checked to, Yamagishi continued with another bet of 1,200. His opponent surrendered the pot.

"I had that kind of hand," Yamagishi said with a laugh as he pointed at the board and dragged the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jamie Gold wanted it to happen, and it did. The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has set an attendance record with 8,774 entrants and rising at the time of publishing, during Level 1 of Day 1d.

In 2006, Gold's world championship year, the field hit 8,773 players, a record that stood for 17 years. Last year, the WSOP came close to cracking that record, but inevitably fell just a bit short at 8,663 entries, making it the second largest Main Event in history.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Frank Cucchiara, who gave away a Main Event seat to one of his social media followers, has himself entered the tournament here on Day 1d, but just dropped a pot to take an early hit.

Cucchiara and Anderson Huang went heads-up to the 6♠Q♥5♣ flop where Cucchiara checked, Huang fired out 2,600, and Cucchiara called.

Both players checked the A♣ turn as the Q♦ fell on the river. Cucchiara checked again.

"Okay," Huang said as he checked behind. Cucchiara turned over 9♣9♠, but Huang had 10♠10♣ for the win.

"That was lucky," Huang said as he dragged in the pot.
