Welcome to Day 1b of the partypoker German Poker Championships at King’s Casino on the Czech Republic–Germany border in the charming town of Rozvadov nestled in the ancient Bohemian Forest.
Friday August 11th is set to be a big one with 170 players already registered to play having qualified through a series of online satellites and live phases.
They will all be vying for a slice of the €1,000,000 guarantee and ultimately the title of German Poker Champion 2017.
Day 1a on Thursday saw 64 entries with 36 players ultimately bagging up chips. Those who didn’t make it, or were unhappy with their final stack can register for subsequent Day 1s and bring their biggest stack through to Day 2.
Friedrich Raz from Switzerland finished on top yesterday with 3,180,000 but not far behind him was partypoker ambassador Boris Becker who bagged and impressive 2,839,000.
For those already entered they will bring their stack forward to Day 1b, for new entries €2,200 gets you a 1,000,000 starting stack.
Play is scheduled for eight one-hour levels with a 15-minute break every two level, and one re-buy per Day 1 is allowed.
The final Day 1c is at 12 p.m. on Saturday and is a Turbo with a 20-minute clock with Day 2 starting the same day at 3 p.m.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand to bring you all the action from the felt right up until the crowning of a new partypoker German Poker Champion so you don’t miss a thing.
The following players have won their entry to Day 1b via either an online satellite on partypoker or a live satellite here in the King's Casino.

Bufarini checked, Demjan bet 20,000 and Bufarini called. Demjan showed his 
for rivered trips and Bufarini silently slid his cards to the muck unseen.
