The 2015 World Series of Poker main event kicked of the second of three Day 1 flights at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Monday and welcomed 1,761 players – an 18 percent drop from 2014’s Day 1B flight.

The event felt bigger as players were spread across the Amazon, Brasilia, Miranda and Pavilion rooms, instead of isolated in one room like Day 1A, but with only one more starting flight available, the WSOP needs 4,181 players to match 2014’s mark of 6,683 total entrants.
