Two Satellites Underway; Open Down to Last 49

Two Satellites are currently running in the main poker room at Casino Sochi. One of them will award three seats to Day 1A of the Main Event and there are 12 players out of 39 entries remaining. A Super Satellite for Day 1B has 30 seats guaranteed and kicked off with around 100 players.

In the Triton Poker room, the Open has 49 players remaining. Among those to bust thus far on Day 3 were Sergey Tsoy, Karen Arutyunyan, Andrey Danilyuk, Alireza Sadeghi and Anatolii Zyrin. The latter finished 4th in the 2017 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia Main Event for $300,000 and will surely take another shot at glory in this year's edition.

Day 1A of the Main Event currently features a field of 141 entries and two further players were eliminated in Garri Tevosov and Alexandr Savchenko.
