Welcome to Day 2 of the 2017 WSOP Circuit King's Casino Rozvadov €5,300 High Roller
The 2017 World Series of Poker International Circuit at the King's Casino Rozvadov is in full swing with several WSOP Circuit rings already being awarded and the €5,300 High Roller has kicked off yesterday. A field of 31 entries including two re-entries emerged thus far after nine levels of 45 minutes each, and 22 hopefuls bagged up chips for Day 2.
Pavel Plesuv held onto the top spot with 166,700 despite a late surge by Ognjen Sekularac (162,100) while Dutchman Sander van Wesemael enters Day 2 with 133,100. Other notables in contention include Vadzim Lipauka (102,200), Felipe Ramos (101,300), Pierre Neuville (81,800), Czech high stakes specialist Pavel Binar (58,200), Viliyan Petleshkov (42,400), and Aleksandar Tomovic (38,400).
The late registration in Europe's biggest poker arena remains open for the first two levels of the day as of 4 p.m. local time and action recommences with level 10 and blinds of 600-1,200 with a running ante of 200. Furthermore, a single re-entry remains available for all players except Aviv Meiri and Fahredin Mustafov, and among those expected to likely join is also Phil Hellmuth. The 14-time WSOP bracelet winner finished 7th for €6,991 in yesterday's €2,200 Pot-Limit Omaha Event to add a Czech flag to his extraordinary poker resume.
