Today's 257 entrants into Event #11: $1,700 WSOPC Main Event today, makes a full total of 397 players for the entire tournament. Creating a prizepool worth $601,455 for the whole tournament. 

The 42 survivors from this tournament sees a total of 64 players make it into the second day of the tournament, with 60 players guaranteed $2,550 and a first place prize worth $126,920. 

Leading the way was the man who held the chip lead all day, Tomas Teran. Teran saw a massive pot early in the day catapult him to the lead which he held for nearly 6 full levels at the same stack. With $146,428 in live earnings, Teran has seen several close calls with his chances for a ring. With the monster stack he bagged today, his high hopes may come true within the next few days. 

Following him in the counts is a player very familiar with winning WSOPC Rings in Tulsa, Mark Barrientos (591,000). The Kansas resident won his ring four years ago at Tulsa and has made a Triumphant return with a massive chip count at the end of the day. 

A funny enough situation occurred in this flight as husband and wife poker duo Trevor Lewis (272,000) and Jael Lewis (100,000) were not only seated at the same table, but right next to each other. They both found a bag at the conclusion of the day, with the hope to both be at the final table of this event. (Jael is pictured above)

Others that found their way through included Megan Moore (314,000), Kasey Mills (200,000), Jared Ward (177,000), Mark Martin (169,000), and Justin Gardenhire (118,000). Each one of them wanting a banner next to former champion, Will Berry (95,000) who also found a bag.
