Play has concluded on the first of this weekend’s two live Day 1’s at the €500,000 guaranteed partypoker Grand Prix Austria €115 Main Event in Vienna. A total of 158 entrants joined us at the Montesino Card Casino for the 1pm flight, with a further 337 for the 7pm flight, and 60 more for 1030pm hyper-turbo.
With a queue to the door during registration of the second flight, it’s safe to assume that tomorrow will be equally busy, with hundreds of eyes on that six-figure prizepool.
Mirel Pfaffenrath leads the way at the end of Friday’s action, bagging up 1,138,000 in chips and is one of only two players to make it through with a seven-figure stack. Also bagging up over a million is Vladimir Cocis with 1,058,000. Other notable stacks include Alex Halmenschlager with 988,000, Jaroslav Pech with 975,000, and Yans Wang with 965,000.
We’re going to do the same thing tomorrow, with PokerNews providing coverage of the 1pm and 7pm flights, as well as the 1030pm hyper-turbo to finish. These will run alongside multiple day 1’s held at Concord Card Casino venues throughout Vienna.
Day 2 begins at 230pm local time on Sunday 8th, with the blind levels doubling in length to 40 minutes, while the final day takes place on Monday 9th at 1pm, with 60-minute blind levels, and the PokerNews live reporting team will be here to capture all of it.
