Welcome to Day 3 of the 2016 WSOP Circuit Rozvadov Main Event
The third day of the 2016 WSOP Circuit €1,650 Main Event at the King's Casino in Rozvadov will see 47 players return to the tables. All players have already locked up €4,729 for their efforts, but their eyes are set on the coveted gold WSOP Circuit gold ring as well as the first place prize of €232,241.
Due to the overwhelming number of entrants, resulting in a €1,212,675 prize pool that shattered the guarantee, King's Casino and the WSOP have decided to add an extra day to the schedule. Previously, the plan for today was to play down to a winner, but will now be suspended when the final 8 have been reached. The final table will now be played out on Tuesday at 2 p.m. local time.
Starting off the day as the chipleader is Han Kuo from Germany, who bagged 1,673,000 after a late night surge yesterday. Kuo is closely followed by a number of very dangerous opponents, as Henning Wendlandt (1,600,000), Oriol Fernandez (1,595,000), Ivan Banic (1,366,000) and Mihai Croitoru (1,200,000) have already proven to be fierce competitors at the tables.
Russia's Alexander Lahkov (964,000), WCOOP Main Event-winner Jonas Lauck (267,000), EPT12 Grand Final winner Jan Bendik (240,000) and King's Casino's very own Ronald van de Linde (175,000) are among those still in the hunt to capture WSOP gold.
At 2 p.m. local time, play will resume in level 23 with blinds at 8,000/16,000 and a running ante of 2,000. The goal of the penultimate day is to reach the final table of eight players. Level duration will be 60 minutes for the remainder of the tournament.
