The quest for the World Series of Poker Circuit Aix-en-Provence Main Event gold ring is now on! After four starting flights that attracted a total of 1,433 entrants, 356 players made it to Day 2 at Pasino Grand. They’ll return this Sunday at 1 p.m. local time, hoping to reach the money and claim the biggest share of the €1,238,112 prize pool.

Among the remaining players, 2023 WSOP Europe champion Max Neugebauer leads the pack with 688,000 chips, well ahead of Day 1a’s biggest stack Frédéric Delval, and Alban Beysson, who both bagged exactly 558,000 chips. With 525,000, Mercedes Osti also reached the half-million mark, while yesterday’s Day 1c chip leader Adel Naoun (472,000) secured a spot in the top 10 so far.
