The highly anticipated €1,650 Main Event of the World Series of Poker Circuit stop at the King's Casino in Rozvadov will be heading into its second starting day in one hour from now at 14:00 local time.

The flagship tournament of the festival near the border to Germany is expecting a bumper field to compete for the share of the guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 with participants from near and far.

Similar to yesterday's Day 1a, a total of 12 levels of 45 minutes are scheduled and each participant can reenter the competition once throughout the day. Even players that bagged up chips last night can rejoin as well and then carry over the bigger stack into Day 2 on Sunday.

Day 1a attracted a field of 251 entries including 16n reentries and 95 of them bagged up chips with EPT7 Vienna champion Michael Eiler taking the overnight lead on 248,600, closely followed by 2015 WSOP bracelet winner Paul Michaelis (241,500) and Steven Stephan (235,100). Other notables with above-average stacks include Vadim Markushevski (226,100), Aleksandr Nemcov (212,000), Rozvadov circuit ring winner Miltiadis Kyriakides (134,600) and 2015 WSOP bracelet winner Vasili Firsau (130,800).

As of 18:00 local time there is a scheduled feature table without hole cards as well and the PokerNews live reporting team will be there to provide all key hands until a winner is crowned on Monday.

Kilic With a Royal Flush

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Serok Kilic
Serok Kilic

The hand started rather bizarre with Sandro Pitzanti tossing in a blue T-1,000 chip and one player calling before Thomas Vogel raised to 3,000. Some confusion broke out as the players assumed Pitzanti did not raise but just call by not saying anything while the Dutchman assured he did announce a raise. Floor was called and Pitzanti almost insulted the other players at the table before then calming down.

He got 600 chips back as it was ruled as call only and Serok Kilic then called in the small blind, the other players folded. The board ran out {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Kilic moved all in after the river with his huge stack. Vogel called for around starting stack and Kilic immediately jumped out of his chair.

"Royal flush baby!!!", smashing his {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to the table. A gutted Vogel revealed {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and then quietly left the table while Kilic took out his smart phone to take a picture of the board.

Hot or Not

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante
Besim Hot
Besim Hot

Besim Hot had his usual hyper aggressive style get him up to the top of the leader board and then down to zero according to "Awesomenezz". The latter four-bet preflop to 15,200 and Hot called from the button to ham the flop {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-} with {A-}{8-}. Awesomenezz looked him up with pocket jacks and boosted his stack to 145,000 after the Swiss failed to improve.

Elliot Smith is the Third Quick Casualty From the Feature Table

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Elliot Smith
Elliot Smith

In a battle before the flop, Elliot Smith four-bet all-in for 24,375. Masset who seemed to be pot committed regardless of what he had, Hollywooded slightly before calling.

Smith: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Masset: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

In the last hand before the break on the feature table, Masset's hand held and Smith was the latest player to leave the feature table in a very short period of time.

Smith Out Again - Live Stream Ends

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Elliot Smith exits the tournament for a second time just as the live stream ends. From what we understand he got the rest of his chips in with {Q-}{J-} and was unable to improve against his opponents' {a-}{q-}. Live streaming is expected to resume tomorrow, however, the commentator mentioned that at the same time as streaming the Main Event, they will also strive to cover some of the one-day €250 buy-in Ladies Event which begins tomorrow at 18:00 CET.

Marcin Wydrowski Leads After Day 1b of the 2015 WSOP Circuit Rozvadov Main Event

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Marcin Wydrowski

The second starting day of the World Series of Poker Circuit €1,650 Main Event at King's Casino in Rozvadov attracted a field of 431 entries, of which 53 were second entries of players that busted their initial stack of 30,000 in chips. The overall field increased to 682 and at least eight further will join the field before the start of Day 2 after winning their entry in Saturday's last-minute Satellite.

A total of 187 players bagged up chips in the second starting flight, and it was former World Poker Tour Prague champion Marcin Wydrowski who accumulated the most chips on Day 1b with 230,000. He's followed by Luc Thong Ta (211,400) and Martin Meciar (181,700).

Super High Roller runner-up Martin Kabrhel (174,800), Serok Kilic (160,600), 2015 WSOP Europe bracelet winner Makarios Avramidis (152,900), Pavel Binar (145,500), Finn Zwad (103,400), and Super High roller third-place finisher Pierre Mothes (101,900) were among those to bag up six-digit counts as well.

Kilic provided the first highlight of the day by hitting a royal flush, whereas the fireworks of Besim Hot got him into the top spot and then to the rail. Sebastian Langrock, Johann Rosnick, Surinder Sunar, Elliot Smith twice, Arvin Ravindran, Dag Palovic, Vojtech Ruzicka, King's regular Hans Olymp, and Dorde Jovanovic didn't make it to Day 2 either.

At least 290 hopefuls will return to the tables as of 14:00 local time for Level 13 and blinds of 800/1,600 with a running ante of 200. The level duration increases to one hour each until a winner is crowned and the goal of Day 2 is reaching the last 16 or a fixed amount of levels, whichever of the two comes first. Registration remains open until the first card is dealt and the PokerNews Live Reporting team will be there to cover another moment in WSOP Circuit history outside of the US.
