There was plenty of action on Day 1 of Event #46: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, with 830 entrants. This beat last year’s figure of 732, and created a prizepool of over $1 million. There were a huge number of big names in action early on, but after 10 levels only 151 players remain.

Robert Mizrachi, James Woods, Alex Luneau, Todd Brunson, Andrew Barber, Adam Owen, Ryan Laplante, Daniel Negreanu, Allen Kessler, Jason Mercier, Mike Sexton and Jared Bleznick all played, but failed to bag at the end of the day.

Leading the way is Marcos Fernandez with an astonishing 251,000 in chips. Put into context, that is 33 starting stacks. Fernandez emerged as a chip leader, and didn’t dawdle. Instead he boosted his stack with the elimination of another big stack, and continued to grow up and over the 200,000 mark as the day drew on.

Other big stacks include John O'Shea (127,000) and Miguel Use (160,500).

Players still in action include David “ODB” Baker (18,200), Calvin Anderson (79,000), Barny Boatman (54,000), David Bach (18,400), Ben Yu (46,300), Barry Greenstein (24,100), John Monnette (47,400), Jeff Gross (6,000), Ray Henson (61,000) and Fabrice Soulier (45,000).

Players will return at 2 p.m. on Saturday. With only 125 places paid, players will be very close to making the money. A min-cash in this event will be worth $2,249, but every player will be looking upwards to the $223,339 on offer for first prize, in addition to the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the updates as the event continues.
