Nicolas 'Dirty Diaper' Rigby Bags Overall Lead After Day 1d of Record-Breaking 2023 WSOP Main Event

It was a record-setting day at the 2023 World Series of Poker as Day 1d, the final starting flight, amassed over 4,100 entries in Event #76: $10,000 WSOP Main Event World Championship. The old mark of 8,773 entries in 2006 was shattered in the early stages today, with the current number of entries sitting at around 9,350 and counting.

It was nothing short of a frenzy throughout the day, with tables open in all parts of the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas ballrooms, and the energy was certainly felt today more than any other.
