Day 1c of the €300,000 guaranteed Festival Series Bratislava €550 Main Event at Banco Casino Bratislava was a massive success as it more than doubled the field size from 240 entries to 485 entries with 245 entries getting into the action. More are still to come with the turbo Day 1d ongoing and late registration and re-entries permitted for two blind levels during Friday's Day 2.

A total of 89 players survived nearly doubling the number of players that bagged chips to Day 2 to 181 players.

Sweden's Timothy Harold bagged the biggest stack of the day of 192,800 in chips closely followed by Pokercode Head of Play Daniele Grassi, Filip Sramka, Markus Ganglbauer, and David Vedral.

Meanwhile, David Vedral, Nicolas Steils, Ed Mondo, Miroslav Lelek, Marian Flesar, and Patrick Jowa all bagged top ten stacks on Day 1c.

Also of note is that poker player, streamer, and occasional commentator Bobby James (80,500) bagged a decent stack of 80,500 into Day 2.

Four More Hands

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The Tournament Director has stopped the clock and instructed the dealers to deal four more hands before surviving players bag chips.

Day 1d Kicks Off at 10 p.m.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The turbo-charged Day 1d will kick off shortly after the conclusion of Day 1c at 10 p.m. CEST. The action for now is scheduled to take place downstairs in the casino instead of in the tournament arena.

Grassi Wins a Massive Pot with Ace-High

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

It appears like Italy's Daniele Grassi, who just began his position of Head of Play at the poker training site Pokercode might end Day 1c on a high note after winning a massive pot with ace-high as follows.

Juho Heiska three-bet over an opener for 5,800. Grassi flat-called from the small blind and the original opener got out of the way.

Grassi checked the {9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop before Heiska jammed for 50,000. Grassi made the call and players turned over their cards.

Juho Heiska: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Daniele Grassi: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {6-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river blanked both players and Grassi won the hand with ace-high.
