Congrats to former Portlander Jeff Dobrin for his 4th place finish in the inaugural Lucky Sevens event. He went into the final table with the chip lead, at a tough final table that included Faraz Jaka and Matt Matros.

WSOP Event #68 $10K NLHE Main Event Day 1B
The final number of entrants into Day 1B wasn’t available this morning, but if the proportion of players is comparable to Day 1A, then it was about 1,800. There were 1,154 players who made it through 1B, including three dozen players from the Northwest. Portland’s George Wolff was among the higher-ranked returnees from 1B, along with stalwarts Harsukpaul Sangha, Esther Taylor-Brady, and Kevin MacPhee. If you were a fan of last year’s Main Event confrontations, you’ll be happy to know Curtis “every poker player’s nightmare” Rystadt is still representing Portland as his hometown. And Carter Gill—still chasing Annie Duke on the Oregon All-Time Money List—is also on to Day 2. Washington’s Dana Buck made it through and one of his tweets got picked up for the WSOP Updates page. Today’s the last entry day for the Main Event!
End day 1 at 61,850. Lost a 40K pot AIPF with AA against JJ. Would have had 100K. Oh well. Day off Tue. #WSOP2015 pic.twitter.com/CFLomUgsMu
