Welcome to Day 1c of the THMC Liechtenstein Main Event
It is time for Day 1c of the 2023 The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC) Liechtenstein Main Event held at Grand Casino Liechtenstein, located smack in the middle of the breathtaking Alps. The THMC tournaments have been organized since 2018 and have become a global phenomenon in the meantime. The last edition was held in May as part of The Festival Malta and saw Norway’s Jonas Engedal turn his €250 buy-in into €6,100 and walk away with the trophy.
This time around, the THMC Main Event is part of its own series, with side events galore. The buy-in is set at CHF 300 ($332) and the Main Event boasts a guaranteed prize pool of at least CHF 200,000. There will be no less than seven starting flights, from May 31st to June 4th, each of which has an option for double re-entry per player. PokerNews will provide a live report of the flights being held during the day, as well as Day 2 and the final Day 3 of the event. The evening flights will be mentioned in passing, next to their chip counts being updated before the next flight.

Switzerlands’ Daniel Schwitter would eventually lead 11 survivors to Day 2 with a bag containing 585,000 chips, good for nearly 100 big blinds at the start of the second day. Meanwhile, the player nicknamed “Johnylero” topped the 21-person leaderboard on Day 1b. They gathered a stack of 575,000 chips throughout the day, coming out ahead in the field of 85 players.

Mathys Wins Two in a Row
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Beat Mathys raised to 300 from the small blind and Jakob Leitgeb called from the big blind. The flop was spread 10♠7♦4♠ and Mathys continued for 400 chips, which Letgeb put in as well. On the 10♣ turn, Mathys bet 700 more, but this time Leitgeb folded.
The next hand, Mathys opened to 300 from the button and Leitgeb called the small blind. Katja Maria Schneider defended her big blind as well, and the trio saw a flop of 6♦A♥9♦.
Schneider took the betting lead and put 700 chips in the middle after a check from Leitgeb. Mathys matched the bet with a call, while Leitgeb got out of the way. Schneider then continued her aggression with a bet of 1,500 on the 2♥ turn and Mathys called once more.
The K♦ river was then knuckled down by both players, upon which Schneider shook her head and showed 5♠5♣. Mathys showed a higher pair with J♠9♠ and he took down his second consecutive pot.

Family Pot Goes to Steimer
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alexander Steiger limped in from under the gun and the whole table followed suit before "RME" checked the big blind.
The flop of 7♣2♣A♣ checked to Theo Steimer on the button, who put out a bet of 400. That was enough to let everyone fold, and Steimer flashed the Q♣ while raking in the small pot.

Mathys Loses One
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ernat Muric and Beat Mathys were heads up on a flop of Q♥8♦4♥. Muric made a bet of 1,100 and Mathys made the call after some gesturing. The turn fell 3♣ and Muric now bet 1,700, followed by a quick call from Mathys this time.
Muric then fired another 3,200 on the J♣ river and Mathys folded just as quickly as he had called the turn.
