They say when you win chips, you are having fun. This seems to be the case for Slovakia's Matus Schnierer who came by on his way out to dinner to say things were going well and he is up to 53,000 chips after winning some small pots and one bigger pot. Schnierer was also visibly having fun on his way to chop the PN Cup Opening Event.

Matus Schnierer Joins the Field
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Matus Schnierer was hanging around King's Casino yesterday enjoying a few drinks, and hinted to us that he would be entering the Main Event today.
The Slovakia poker player is one of the newest to enter the field in Day 1B of the PokerNews Cup Main Event. Schnierer was part of the crew of five players that were at King's Casino two nights ago into the wee hours of the morning after agreeing to a chop in the PokerNews Cup Opening Event. He and his four opponents each secured a payday of €2,607.
Schnierer insisted that all players be paid the same due to the high blinds, and his logic prevailed as the chip leaders agreed this was the most fair.

There’s Something You Should Know About Milan Joksic
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
He may not be the most talkative player at the table, but Austria’s Milan Joksic is someone all the other players should pay attention to.
Only a few minutes ago we told you about a pot Australia’s Lewis Murray won against Inna Ohorodnyk, Poitr Sadowski, Milan Joksic. What we didn’t say, however, is that one of the four players involved in the hand has live tournament winnings for well over $500,000.
In over a decade spent playing tournaments playing live poker in Europe, Joksic managed to put together a significant number of remarkable results like a second-place finish in the GCOP Vol II 4/6 Main Event for $81,000, a fourth-place finish worth $ 45,756 in a side event part of the 2012 EPT Berlin, and a third-place finish worth $63,171 in the 2011 CAPT Bregenz Open Main Event.
Last August, Joksic finished runner up in the € 200 No Limit Hold'em WPT Wanted Bounty held here at the King’s Casino in Rozvadov.

Field Grows to 151 Players
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
The field keeps growing as we are at 151 players already in Day 1B in the PokerNews Cup Main Event with 135 remaining. With 98 additional players entering yesterday, we are already at almost 250 players in total between the first two opening flights.
It is expected that the field sizes will be even bigger tomorrow for Day 1C and Day 1D. Fortunately, King's Casino provides the biggest poker room anywhere in Europe, so they will be able to manage regardless of how many people decide to pony-up the €250 buy-in to play for a share of the at least €200,000 guaranteed prize pool.
