Main Event Field Report

A quick summary of how Day 1c took shape and has progressed, from Katkin, who\’s digging up interesting hands and player reports you can read at WSOP.com:

In the red quadrant of the Amazon Room — about 30 tables — there are some 20 pros in the mix. Dennis Phillips has the biggest entourage — with his red-hat army on the rails.

Almost half the tables have broken and reverted to cash games … but the walled-off high-stakes cash-games pit still is all main event tourney action.

Lots of chips and cards flying around. 1 hour 48 minutes remaining in Level 3. The real tournament is starting to coagulate.
