The last Day 1 flight of the 2020 WSOP Hybrid Main Event has taken place, with just 75 players surviving from a huge 257 entries.  

It was always likely to be the biggest Day 1 of the three and Day 1c lived up to it’s billing as the last chance for players to put up the $10,000 entry fee on GGPoker and get themselves a Day 2 seat. Overall, 674 players took up the challenge and with no re-entry, the truest WSOP Main Event of this bizarre year has reached the penultimate stage with some having racked up mountainous stacks.  

According to the overnight report on PokerNews, the highest-ranked player when play drew to a close was Canadian player Senthuran Vijayaratnam, who totalled 966,714 chips by close of play, the overall lead in the tournament and almost a million chips.  

Of the 75 who made it through to Day 2, second in chips was a British player, Jesse Wigan carrying 642,276 through to the next day’s play and Viacheslav Buldygin (480,671) in 3rd place, having less than half of Vijayaratnam’s monster stack.
