Christian Rudolph

Germany's Christian Rudolph bagged the biggest chip stack of the 33 survivors from Day 1B in the Irish Poker Masters KO €1M GTD Main Event on partypoker. The second starting flight saw a total of 217 entries which contributed a further €217,000 to the seven-figure prize pool.

Rudolph, who has already recorded ten six-figure cashes online this year, has had an excellent 2021 on the virtual felt. The German poker pro won the WPT Online Main Event for $487,443 and followed that up with podium finishes in WCOOP: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, High Roller], $1M Gtd, WPTWOC Event #14: $10,300 High Roller Championship and WCOOP: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max, Progressive KO, High Roller], $750K Gtd.

Notables joining Rudolph in Day 2 include Stevan Chew as well as both Lucas Greenwood and Sam Greenwood.

Niklas Åstedt, Benjamin Rolle and partypoker ambassadors Jamie Staples and Monika Żukowicz were among the big names who failed to advance to the second day of the Main Event.

Day 1C kicks off on November 21, 7:05 p.m. GMT. The remaining players from that flight will join the Day 1A and 1B survivors for Day 2 on November 22, 8:05 p.m. GMT.
