Any time there is a PokerNews Cup going on, we are almost certain to see Munich's Karl-Heinz Metz. The PN Cup regular has entered six times. However, he will have to re-enter to make the money or have a chance at the top prize in this year's Main Event due to busting out after already dwindling his stack down to 16,000 chips.
Metz pushed all-in with ![]()
and unfortunately for him he was called by a player with ![]()
and two other opponents. He was unable to improve his hand on the board and is now out of the tournament.
We haven't seen the last of Metz, however, with two more opening days tomorrow. Metz shared with his he will focus on ring games at King's Casino tonight and try again tomorrow with hopes of making it to Day 2.

If you think the PokerNews Cup is only about recreational players, think again. Experienced poker players know very well how to get the best out of their buy-ins, and there’s no doubt that this is what convinced France's poker pro Quentin Lecomte to give the Day 1b a shot.
The Prague-based player is not a new face in Rozvadov, as he was spotted in the tournament room also during the World Series of Poker Circuit event that run here only a few weeks ago.
The PokerNews Cup, however, is not Leconte’s only reason to be in Rozvadov. As his Twitter profile reveals, he is in town to get the most out of the cash games running at King’s. You have been warned.
