150 Players Ready for Day 2 of the 888Live Festival Opening Event

Will Shillibier

Bartosz Szafraniec finds himself second in chips

A record field of 783 has been whittled down over the course of four starting flights to just 150 who will each battle it out for a share of a €150,000 guaranteed prizepool later today at the King's Casino in Rozvadov.

After 15 levels, it is Day 1B chip leader Ruben Perez from Spain who leads the way, with 426,500. After him comes Bartosz Szafraniec (407,500) from Poland who topped the chip counts in Day 1A, and German Nadi Yusuf (370,500) who bagged up his chips late last night as the chip leader from Day 1D.

The plan today is simple: Play until there is a winner! Blinds start at 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante. There is one notable difference to the Day 1 schedule, and it is that the levels are now 40 minutes long instead of 30. Nevertheless we should be in for an exciting day as this event reaches its conclusion.

Keep up to date with everything happening at 888Live Rozvadov with PokerNews. We'll be bringing you live updates from the High Roller and Main Event later this week.

Peter Reil Eliminated by Peter Prinz

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Peter Reil moved all in from under the gun for just under 30,000. It folded around to his namesake Peter Prinz in the small blind who moved all in himself. The big blind folded and the cards were turned over.

Reil:
Prinz:

The board ran out [jdts9th3s] and Reil was eliminated.

"Jack-Ten," said Oliver Knoll mournfully as Prinz raked in his chips. His stack is now approaching 100,000.

Zdenek Zahorcik Starts Strongly

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"Tell him about the hands," said Zdenek Zahorcik's tablemate, as Zahorcik stood to head away from the table.

All the Zahorcik could do was let out a wry smile and walked away.

His tablemates filled us in. According to them, he has had pocket queens - twice, pocket jacks - twice, and most recently eliminated a player when his managed to overtake his opponent's .

Zahorcik has added nearly 200,000 chips to his stack and is well above average, which now stands at 173,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Zdenek Zahorcik	520,000	190,000

Eusebiu-Nicolae Jalba Takes from Tudor Popa

Will Shillibier

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Tudor Popa raised to 11,000 from the hijack. The small blind called and Eusebiu-Nicolae Jalba defended his big blind.

The flop came . It checked to Popa who bet 15,000. The small blind called but Jalba called.

The turn was the and Jalba checked to Popa who bet again, this time for 30,000. Again Jalba just called.

The river was the and Jalba checked a third time and Popa bet a large amount, 75,000. Jalba thought out his options, counting out his stack before throwing in a chip to call.
