Welcome to Day 1b of the 2015 Unibet Open Cannes

In half an hour from now at 13:00 local time, the second starting day of the €1,000 + €100 Unibet Open Main Event at the Casino Barriere de Cannes gets underway. Before any card is dealt, the screens already show at least 140 players registered and it seems very likely that the 182 entries of Day 1a will be eclipsed.

Another 10 levels of one hour each are scheduled and the participants receive 30,000 chips each, all on their mission to accumulate as many of them until the bagging and tagging takes place around 01.30 in the morning. The overall leader of the 59 Day 1a survivors is Julien Sitbon and the number to beat for everyone today is 354,300.

Among those to be expected at the tables today are former Unibet Poker representative Paul Valkenburg, Charlotte van Brabander, Irish Open champion Ian Simpson and the defending 2015 Unibet Open Glasgow winner Daniel Chutrov. The live stream will kick off at the start of level three with a delay of 30 minutes and you can follow the action here on PokerNews and on the Unibet Twitch stream.

The weather outside could not be any better in September with more than 25 degrees and sunshine at the French Riviera. Add on top of that the always friendly atmosphere at the Unibet Open and it makes perfect sense why the tournament series is so popular and well established in its seventh season.

Make sure to tune into the PokerNews live reporting to find out whether or not the 457 entries of last year and the overall record of 460 participants will be reached. Besides the Main Event, which finishes on Sunday, there is also a dozen of Side Events including a €2,000 + €200 High Roller on the weekend.
