Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Though it seems like mere days ago that the 2017 World Series of Poker got underway, July has almost arrived, and with it, the last $5K of the summer at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Event #56: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em kicked off Thursday and drew 623 players, of which about 248 survived the 10-level day.

At the top of the chip counts is a mix of recognizable and less heralded names. Nacho Barbero (230,300) and Juha Helppi (193,200) are already known to many poker fans after having won major titles and piled up millions in live cashes. Meanwhile David Coleman (205,200) and Carlos Chang (197,600) are seeking to build their stars with big wins in an event that will pay $618,285 to the winner.

Matt Berkey (165,500), Michael Mizrachi (148,900), Olivier Busquet (144,000), Dietrich Fast (94,500), Ari Engel (91,100) and Dzmitry Urbanovich (47,600) also made it on to Day 2.

It wasn't a banner day for everyone taking a seat in the Amazon Room, of course. Plenty of notable players fell by the wayside during the course of play, including Kenny Hallaert, Justin Bonomo, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Faraz Jaka and Chris Ferguson.

Ferguson has been making a run for WSOP Player of the Year honors, much to the chagrin of many players and fans. However, his chance to gain any points in this event ended late in the day when he reshipped 14 big blinds over a raise and failed to hold with pocket queens against ace-ten.

Those who did advance return Friday at noon. They'll be playing 600/1,200/200, and you can find coverage throughout the day here on PokerNews.
