Where will the counter stop? After the first two starting flights of the €1,000 World Series of Poker Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event, a total of 715 entries have been recorded — including 393 on yesterday’s Day 1b alone. But with today’s double feature of Day 1c and the turbo-format Day 1d at Pasino Grand, that number is expected to almost double.
Among the 98 players who qualified for Day 2 through Day 1b, it was the 2023 WSOP Europe champion Max Neugebauer who bagged the biggest stack with 688,000 chips after an impressive comeback. He was followed by Mercedes Osti (525,000), while Azzedine Zouitene secured the third spot with 488,000.
