The first of two starting flights for the 2015 WSOP Event #28: "Monster Stack" $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em drew 3,027 entries Friday. And while this first flight put the event on a pace to draw less than the 7,862 entries the 2014 WSOP edition did, it left no doubt to its popularity amongst the poker masses. Players have asked the WSOP for years to add more chips and more play to bracelet events and with the Monster Stack offering ten-times the buy-in for its starting stacks, it has now become a definitive answer to that request.
Starting at 10 a.m. Friday, the event played through eleven 60-minute levels and a 90-minute dinner break. Some 825 players survived the day with a relatively unknown Australian named Chi Truong bagging the overnight lead on some 193,400 chips. However, a more familiar name in 2010 WSOP Main Event third-place finisher Joseph Cheong sits within ten thousand chips of the lead.
A host of top pros also bagged big and will look to make a run when they return for Day 2 Sunday, including 2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Martin Jacobson, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst, two-time WSOP bracelet winners Brandon Cantu, Steve Billirakis and Hoyt Corkins, and one-time WSOP Bracelet winners Scott Montgomery, Allen Bari and Eugene Katchalov.
Day 1b will kick off at 10 a.m. local time Saturday with thousands more expected to fill tables across the Rio.
PokerNews Podcast superfan Allen Bari blew us off a few days ago, but he's back to talk about life outside of poker, his short trip to the World Series of Poker, and more.

Today marks another big, bad event at the 2015 World Series of Poker — Event #28: $1,500 "Monster Stack" No-Limit Hold'em. Last year, a whopping field of 7,862 players came out to challenge for the $1,327,083 top prize. When the dust had settled, Hugo Pingray was left standing to claim the title and the coveted gold bracelet.
