Table Of Contents
The third starting flight of the World Cup of Cards on partypoker saw Ioannis Angelou Konstas not only bag the Day 1C chip lead, but the overall chip lead.
He's no stranger to success on partypoker, having won the €5,200 High Roller during last year's Irish Open Online. Away from the online felt, Konstas took down the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK for $1.2 million.
Konstas sits more than one million chips clear of Day 1B chip leader Julian Lozano, and well clear of Day 1A chip leader Christoph Vogelsang.
Other players to bag big after Day 1C included Dinesh Alt, Andrew Hedley and Jozsef Liszkovics.
