Welcome to Day 1b of Event #75: $777 Lucky 7’s No-Limit Hold’em (7 Handed) which kicks off at 12:00 p.m. local time, at the 2022 WSOP at Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas.
With 2,280,000, Calvin Anderson managed to finish in the lead at the end of Day 1a Sunday, which saw only 44 players survive out of 1,056 entries. It will be essential to dodge a lot of bullets to advance to Day 2, but it's all well worth it. As a reminder, the tournament comes with a guaranteed $777,777 prize for the winner.
Just like Day 1a, players begin with a starting stack of 40,000 and blinds at 100/200/200. Levels are 30-minutes in duration with a 20-minute break every four levels and a 75-minute dinner break after Level 12 (approximately 6:40 p.m.) There will be 22 levels played before chips are bagged for the night.
Stay tuned in to PokerNews for live updates on all of the action throughout Day 1b.
After explaining how the day will unfold, the tournament director launched the tournament with the traditional: "Shuffle up and deal!"

After a raise to 500, Mac Posey made it 1,600 from late position. From the small blind, John Schwartze four-bet to 6,000. Original raiser folded but not Posey, who called.
On a 
flop, Schwartze bet 6,000 and Posey raised to 15,000. Schwartze called, then announced all in on the 
turn. Posey called.
Mac Posey: 
John Schwartze: 
Schwartze found a queen on the turn to make a set before he eventually made quads on the 
river. Mac Posey was eliminated.

After an open to 800 in early position, Danny Gonzalez made it 2,200. Just after him, Mehdi Daruwala called, as did the player in early position.
On the 
flop, Gonzalez bet 3,000 and Daruwala was the only player to call. Turn was a 
but both players checked it, to the 
on the river. This time, Gonzalez bet 7,000 and after a quick reflection, Daruwala finally gave it up his hand.
Gonzalez has now 100,000, but it's also thanks to a previous winning hand, as he explained: "With aces, I went all in on 
flop, without the ace of spades. My opponent had pocket nines, without the flush draw neither. And I held to the river!"
