Former Champion Constantin Chips Up

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Adrian Eugen Constantin, who claimed the 888poker LIVE Main Event trophy in London previously and holds a near identical name to the 2018 Barcelona champion, has been spotted in the Day 1c field. He even scooped a bigger pot just now when he bet the {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades} rover for 12,500 into 29,000.

His opponent folded and Constantin dragged in the chips.

Coelho Wins Big Pot

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante
Claudio Coelho
Claudio Coelho

A three-bet to 1,300 was called two ways and Mario Milhoes in the cutoff then tossed in three T-1,000 chips. The dealer announced a raise and Milhoes was surprised, said he had called without saying anything. It was ruled as a reraise and Claudio Coelho on the button then squeezed to 11,000, he picked up one caller.

On a {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, Coelho's opponent check-called a bet of 10,200 and led the {7-Diamonds} turn for 25,000. Coelho called and the {8-Hearts} river was checked. Coelho was shown the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair and busted gutshot, which he had beat with {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for aces and sevens.

Early Notables on Day 1c

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Will Kassouf will certainly enter Day 1c soon but he may do so on a bargain as he is among the final 24 players and near the money bubble of the satellite. In the meanwhile, the action has kicked off and some early notables can be found below.

Shuffle Up and Deal

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

While several bigger names used the previous two starting days to run up a stack and have time to watch the Madrid derby at the Estadio Bernabeu, the third and final regular flight has kicked off and will almost certainly be the biggest. To put things into perspective, Day 1a and Day 1b got underway with around 50 players each and that number for Day 1c is more than double already.

So far, there are 124 players registered right away and that number will increase significantly in the hours to come.
