WSOP Day 1B

Barney Boatman, of the Hendon Mob, is playing right by the media desk and his smile and thumbs up was a good tell he’s happy at the moment.  Eric Lindgren is on the featured table wearing a black shirt and Rawvegas.tv label for the third time this series but we’re pretty sure it’s a clean shirt.  And Patrik Antonius is playing today but I’m too lazy to go find him.  There were 1158 entrants today… now down to 963-ish.  Rumors of Day 1D being sold out were confirmed but then heard it was open again.
