Day 1b of the 2015 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event attracted 209 players, which means with Day 1a's 109 brought the total field up to 318. After six levels of play, just 127 remain, meaning along with Day 1a's 57 survivors, 184 players will return to action on Day 2.
Day 1a chip leader Niall Farrell will begin with the most chips holding 157,000, but starting second with 125,000 will be Day 1b chip leader Peter Norman. Relatively unknown, Norman's only WSOP cash was $32,242 for a 289th-place finish in the 2013 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.
