Jason Sommerville (111,200) was another player who was able to pilot over a stack to Day 2abc. Following a hand with GGPoker Qualifier Sean Ragozzini and another player, Somerville correctly laid down two pair and was ecstatic with the fold.

"I really ran it up after that fold. I feel like I can win it now. I didn't punt it off! I had a very good excuse to do so, but I didn't," he told PokerNews.

No Phil No Party

The 1989 Main Event Champion and 16-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth was expected to play today but announced that he would be entering the crown jewel of the WSOP on Thursday's Day 2. A big entrance is guaranteed to take place but any details still remain a secret.

Negreanu Gets Small Main Event Rebate

Notables who made it over the first hurdle include 2015 Main Event winner Joe McKeehen (95,000), PokerStars Ambassador Rafael Moraes (172,800) and Women in Poker Hall of Famer Maria Ho (116,700). 888poker ambassador and Two-time IBO Super Middleweight World Champion Chris Eubank Jr. also bagged and tagged a 42,800 stack

GGPoker Ambassador Daniel Negreanu was another stellar name who fell on Day 1c, he was felted on of Level 5 after his ace-king was beaten by the ten-four of Dennis Wilke.

However, it wasn't all doom and gloom for the Canadian. Arash Shahi, also from Canada, was railing the poker superstar and reminded Negreanu that he owed him $100 from four years ago. The pair were playing at the same table in the 2018 WSOP $1,500 Limit Hold'em event and Negreanu spotted Shahi's massage costs after the latter realized he was short on cash. Shahi handed his idol a crisp $100 bill and was delighted about the encounter.

Other big names to be downed on Day 1c included former Main Event Champions Hossein Ensan and Greg Raymer. The likes of Vivian Saliba, Magnus Carlsen, Matt Berkey and Martin Kabrhel also hit the rail following today's proceedings.

As mentioned, the players who survived Day 1a, 1b and 1c will return on Thursday, July 7 for Day 2abc. Day 1d, which begins at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, 6 July, is expected to be the biggest starting flight, so be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews to follow all of the action from the Main Event.
