Casino Di Campione was filled to the brim with poker tables yesterday. Day 1a and 1b of the PokerStars Open (PSO) Campione €1,100 Main Event were met with overwhelming enthusiasm, drawing a crowd of 807 entries to the Idyllic Italian enclave. Today, the last two starting days will take place, with Day 1c kicking off at 1 p.m. local time and the turbo Day 1d starting at 8 p.m.
At the time of writing, 145 players have already signed up for Day 1c, with hundreds more expected to take their seats throughout the day. The €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool has almost been met already and will thus steadily grow throughout the day.
Everyone who sits down today will be chasing Day 1a chipleader Darius Neagoe, whose stack of 417,000 was the largest of the 250 survivors yesterday. Terrance Reid came in second with a stack of 413,500, while Sebastian Kotowicz completed the podium, carrying 398,600 chips to Day 2, which takes place tomorrow, March 14.

| 2 | Terrance Reid | United States | 413,500 | 345 |
| 3 | Sebastian Kotowicz | Poland | 398,600 | 332 |

| 9 | Pascal Pflock | Germany | 218,100 | 182 |
| 10 | Luigi Guida | Italy | 217,700 | 181 |
The starting stack of 30,000 chips might seem humble next to Neagoe's piles, but the deep structure starts at blinds of 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante, giving players plenty of room to maneuver. Day 1c and 1d will play 11 levels each, with Day 1c having levels of 60 minutes and Day 1d enjoying a more fast-paced structure with levels of 20 minutes. Late registration will remain open throughout the day, closing only after the first level of Day 2, and the players have unlimited reentries at their disposal.
Day 1c will have a break after every two levels, with a 60-minute dinner break scheduled after Level 6, around 7:40 p.m. local time. The reporting will focus on Day 1c, with the chip counts of Day 1d being posted at the end of the day.

Franco Marcolin raised to 300 under the gun, and Hendrik Hanebuerger called in the hijack. Patrick Stierli then three-bet to 1,600 on the button, which Marcolin bumped up to 4,000.
Hanebuerger quickly got out of the way, but Stierli five-bet to 12,000. After a couple of minutes playing with his chips, Marcolin jammed all in for 29,500 and was quickly called by Stierli.
Franco Marcolin: A♥A♦ 
Patrick Stierli: A♣K♣
Marcolin's aces had Stierli drawing dead on the 9♦3♠8♦5♥ turn, with the 8♥ river being dealt as a formality. Stierli raked in a massive double-up to two starting stacks, leaving Stierli with just 17 big blinds.

Cosimo Sabatini made a raise to 300,00 in the hijack. Francesco Sacco three-bet to 1,000 on the button, which small blind Leon Vasco called.
Sabatini also tossed in calling chips, after which it was checked to Sacco on the K♥7♥3♦ flop. He bet 1,500, folding out Vasco but seeing Sabatini put in a call.
The 9♣ turn then checked through to the 6♠ river. Sabatini placed a bet of 1,500, quickly being looked up by Sacco.
Sabatini tabled K♠10♣ for top pair, winning the pot when Sacco mucked his cards.

Three-way to a flop of J♣Q♥2♦, Mikela Shkurta bet 2,500 into the pot of 7,500 from under the gun. Friedrich Raez, who fired seven unsuccessful bullets yesterday, called in the hijack, as did Enrique Rodriguez on the button.
Shkurta sized up to 7,000 on the 7♠ turn. Raez still came along, but Rodriguez had seen enough and mucked his cards. Shkurta then put Raez all-in for 10,700 on the 3♣ river, receiving a quick fold for her efforts.
