The final record breaing flight of the Main Event saw a whopping 717 entries come out, pushing our prize pool up to an incredible $2,222,505. That number was very close to breaking a record for a WSOP Circuit event, but is easily the biggest Circuit Main ever held in Los Angeles. Brad Gafford of San Diego, California will bring the overall chip lead into Day 2 with 989,000 tonight.

Also moving on to tomorrow are David Uvaydov (363,000), Mike Wasserman (341,000), Audley Harrison (315,000), Michael Nia (301,000), Matthew Salsberg (193,000), Christina Gollins (182,000), Phil Laak (112,000), and Alty Fung (111,000).
