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.
