Big Field Expected for Winamax Poker Open Main Event Day 1b
If previous years are anything to go by, today is going to be a mammoth day of poker with two flights of the Winamax Poker Open Main Event scheduled.
First, at midday Day 1b gets underway with 20 levels of 30 minutes for players to try and book their place in Day 2. Then later at 20:00 the special Turbo Day 1c starts.
Our focus will be on Day 1b and we will bring you all the live updates from this, as well as a recap of who advances from the later Day 1c flight.
Last year saw a record field of 1,191 players enter the Main Event which was eventually won by Karol Wojciechowski for €89,716. Plenty of players will be wanting to follow in his footsteps, and will begin their journeys today.
