Field Ready for WSOPC €1,650 Main Event Day 2

WSOPC €1,650 Main Event
WSOPC €1,650 Main Event

A total of 292 players remain on Day 2 of the €1,650 WSOPC Main Event and they will all be looking to have another strong day as they move towards a potential final table here at King's Casino, Rozvadov.

Best placed of the remaining players are Day 1 chip leaders Alexander Romme (310,500) & Markus Sturz (368,700).

However, a whole bunch of well-known players will be taking to the felt on Day 2, including two-time WSOPC ring-winner Eyal Bensimhon (250,500), who took down the €220 WSOP Circuit Deep Stack Open earlier this month for an additional €16,580.

Another ring-winner in with a chance of further glory is Martin Kabrhel (162,300), who narrowly missed out on another WSOPC ring, finishing third in the WSOPC €5,300 High Roller on Friday. Kabrhel has won WSOPC rings during visits to Rozvadov in 2016 and 2017, and will be looking for a third ring in three years when play gets underway later.

Other notable players still in on Day 2 include November Niner Vojtech Ruzicka (127,100), Marek Blasko (83,500), Bertrand Grospellier (63,100), Pierre Neuville (47,000), Martin Staszko (42,800), Michal Mrakes (35,000), Sebastian Langrock (24,000), along with WSOPC Rozvadov Main Event champion from April last year Marcin Chmielewski (82,900), along with final tablists Michal Schuh (61,200) and Jiri Horak (120,100).

Play resumes at 2 pm local time, with late registration and re-entry open until the start of play on Day 2. Stay tuned to PokerNews.com for full updates on the day's play as we get closer to crowning the latest WSOPC champion here in the Czech Republic.

Tomovic and Lybaert Eliminated

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bart Lybaert
Bart Lybaert

Aleksandr Tomovic open-jammed for 22,000 from middle position. The decision was on Florian Goss and the clock was called on him before he eventually called. The remaining players folded. Tomovic showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and was ahead of the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} of Goss.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Tomovic eyed his flush, but departed as soon as he realised Goss held a better flush.

Meanwhile, Bart Lybaert was heading to the exit. He explained that he opened with {k-Clubs}{j-} from middle position off a stack of 40,000. An opponent in the cutoff called and the flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-}. Lybaert checked to his opponent who bet and the Belgian check-jammed all in. His opponent called with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. The turn {7-} and river {3-} didn't help Lybaert and he too was eliminated.

Parminder Singh
Parminder Singh

Kandola Parminder Singh raised pre-flop and called a small three-bet from Viliyan Petleshkov. The flop {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} was checked by both players. The turn was the {7-} and both stacks got in the middle.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} giving Singh a flush and boosting his stack to 340,000.

Kabrhel Wins Biggest Pot of the Tournament

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel raised in early position and got two callers, including Petr Svoboda on the button and Josef Vogel in the big blind. Vogel bet 10,000 on the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. Kabrhel raised to 35,000 and Svoboda re-raised to 105,000. Vogel folded and Kabrhel went into the tank.

The clock was called, with Kabrhel called before the tournament official began their countdown. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Kabrhel checked to Svoboda who bet 160,000. Again, Kabrhel went into the clock and tablemate Jenya Gavrilovich called the clock.

"It's the biggest pot of the tournament so far; this is impossible," said Kabrhel to the floor as they appeared at the table. Kabrhel called again.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and both players checked. Kabrhel showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and took down the pot.
