2023 PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker
Halfway Through Day 1 with 380 Entries So Far
The halfway mark of Level 7 has just passed, which means Day 1 is half over now. The current field is at 380, and new entries and rebuys (max 3 per player) are available until the start of play on Day 2. The game is now just 120 entries away from cracking the $5 million guarantee.
Leaders with More than 900k
There are two stacks bigger than 900k right now. One belongs to Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora, who took a big pot off Mexico's "metelindberg" to get above 960k, but "AnyExtras" is just above them.

"Not Ideal" Day for Spraggy
Watson Has It
Canada's Mike "SirWatts" Watson, who recently became a two-time EPT winner in Monte Carlo (technically a PCA and an EPT champ), just took a chunk out of the chip leader "O Vulgo". "O Vulgo" opened to 7k from the middle, and Watson called from the button.
The 2♠4♣2♣ flop went check-bet-call for 5,713 and "O Vulgo" checked again on the 3♠ turn. Watson fired 41,276, more than the pot of ~34k and got the call. When the river came 5♦ "O Vulgo" checked again, then called Watson's bet of 116,828. Watson showed down 6♠5♠ for the win.
