Welcome to Day 1a of the 2014 PokerStars King's Casino Cup!
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is here in Rozvadov on the Czech/German border for the 2014 PokerStars King's Casino Cup, a €500 + €50 event four-day event. If you've never visited the King's Casino, you're missing out, having added a recent extension, the poker room now boasts 140 tables of action. Yes, you read that correctly. 140. One hundred and forty. As a regular stop on the PokerStars Eureka tour, the last big event here was Eureka Rozvadov and saw a record 493 entries enter at the end of May as Martin Meciar won the title and €87,600 in prize money.
In this event, there will be three start days, every player is allowed to re-enter once on each of the first two start days (day 1a and 1b). Day 1c will begin at midnight just after the conclusion of Day 1b, however, while this will feature the same structure, the levels will be only 15 minutes long, as opposed to the 40 minutes. There is also no re-entry on Day 1c meaning that a player can potentially fire five bullets at this tournament. The final day will also feature 60-minute levels.
Day 1a begins at 7pm CET and you'll be able to follow all the action here!

Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Play has just gotten underway. Ten levels are scheduled for tonight and so far there are 64 players.
A UKIPT Finalist
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Among the entries this evening is UKIPT Isle of Man finalist Josef Snejberg. Snejberg finished 6th for £14,900 at the event in Douglas just over a month ago, having begun the final table as chip leader. But it didn't go so well for the Czech player there as he was unlucky to have aces cracked by another player who had flopped two pair.
Hopefully things will go better for him here.

Engwer's Bad Start
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
It's not all coming up Milhouse for Michael Engwer. With several thousand chips already in the middle, Engwer bet 6,000 on the turn of a 
board only for his opponent, Pierre Mothes to move all in for about 14,500. Engwer clearly had a difficult decision to make and thought for some time, eventually mucking hand.
Mothes flashed the 
without revealing the other card.

for a turned straight and picked up the pot.
