What started as a field of 6,420 in the World Series of Poker Main Event has been whittled down to just 69. On Monday, the field will likely be trimmed even further down to 27. Right now, Pierre Neuville leads the way with a stack of 7.1 million. Neuville calls Belgium home and had eight in the money finishes at last year’s WSOP.

A total of 237 players started on Sunday, paced by Joe dude904McKeehen (pictured). On Sunday, McKeehen dipped a bit on the leaderboard, but still ended in 20th place with 3.6 million. He also knocked out former November Niner John $JMONEY$ Racener.

In that hand, WSOP.com coverage explained, “Racener (pictured) was all-in and at risk before the flop for his last 394,000 in chips and was called by McKeehen’s ace-king. An ace on the river spelled disaster for Racener and he was sent to the rail in 162nd place. McKeehen, on the other hand, survived the day and will be returning for Day 5. McKeehen retained his chip lead through the first two levels of play and was finally sur++passed just before the dinner break.”

Brian Stinger885Hastings, whom we’ve seemingly written about in every WSOP Main Event update, is in 10th place with 4.7 million and seems destined for his first November Nine birth. Hastings has two WSOP bracelets already this yeardespite being engulfed in multi-accounting accusations.

Fan favorite Daniel Negreanu is also still in. The Canadian sits in 22nd place with a stack of 3.6 million and chipped up on one of the final hands of the night, showing A-7 on a board of A-10-8-5-J. His opponent, Upeshka De Silva, mucked and Negreanu moved to almost 100 big blinds. He final tabled the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship this year for $113,000.

Two PocketFivers who signed up for accounts on our site in 2005 also remain: Steve gboro780Gross (pictured) and Mark P0ker H0Kroon. We’ll start with Kroon, who is in 27th place with 3.2 million. He took a pot from Alexander Turyansky on Sunday after Turyansky folded to a check-raise on a flop of J-4-3. Kroon was chatty during the hand, at one point telling the dealer, “You look like you’re in the Secret Service” because of his earpiece.

Gross is at 2.7 million, good for 32nd on the leaderboard, and will make his sixth cash at this year’s WSOP. He dropped multiple pots to Bradley St. Vincent on Sunday, but managed to end the day in the middle of the pack. He’s a former bracelet winner and #1 player on PocketFives.
