So far it’s been looking like a particularly tough field out here in Day 1B of the WSOP Main Event. Mental note for next year, Day 1B spells trouble. With top poker pros like Daniel Negreanu, Ted Forrest and Greg Raymer going home early, you know it’s not easy out there.

Maybe it's something to do with the fact that it's Independence Day and all of the party animals avoided it to play another day leaving the field filled with sober-headed poker lovers. What? It's possible.

Anyway, we recently ran the WSOP tournament floor and could only find four surviving Bodog players: David DeCourcey, Steve Stolzmann, James Namken and Atanas Gueorguiev.

DeCourcey is leading the Bodog pack at the moment with 28,500 in chips.

Stolzmann, Namken and Atanas have approximately 23,000, 22,000 and 12,000 in chips respectively.
