Christian Zetzsche

After four starting days at the five-star Intercontinental Bucharest, the €888 Main Event of the 2019 888poker LIVE Bucharest Festival in cooperation with Pokerfest Romania has surpassed the guaranteed prize pool of €300,000 thanks to 505 total entries, and 160 players will return to the ballroom on the first floor to try and get one step closer to the trophy and 2019 WSOP Main Event package worth $12,600 courtesy of WSOP sponsor 888poker.

Marian Virlanuta, who topped the first starting day, remains in pole position with 284,500, followed by UK's Stuart Sewell (262,500) and Day 1c chip leader Vasile Rablou (257,000). Other big stacks belong to Ran Shahar (219,200), Day 1b chip leader Aldo Monteleone (206,000), Eugen Chiva (199,000), 888poker ambassador Sofia Lovgren (192,700), Bogdan Berinde (183,100), Sergiu Cornea (162,400), Mihai Niste (127,500), and Dany Parlafes (120,500).

As of 8 p.m. local time, Day 1 of the €1,700 High Roller is scheduled to kick off and the defending champion of that event is 888poker ambassador Ana Marquez.

The PokerNews team will be on the tournament floor to cover all the action of the Main Event until a champion is crowned.
