Welcome back to another edition of the WSOP International Circuit Main Event in Rozvadov here at the King’s Resort. Earlier this year, Martin Kabrhel won his fifth WSOP Ring by defeating Harry Ross in the 650-strong field for €200,350 and the WSOPE Main Event ticket. Just like the previous edition, the King’s Resort is giving away ten tickets to the WSOPE Main Event again to the top ten finishers on top of the €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Day 1a is set to kick off at 2 p.m. local time as the 13th event of the WSOP International Circuit. Many familiar players have been spotted in the previous events already. Players like Viktor Blom, Timur Margolin, Milad Oghabian, Martin Mulsow, Pierre Neuville, Anson Tsang, Michael Sklenicka, Jan Bednar, Dennis Wilke, Eyal Bensimhon, Muhamet Perati, and many more are expected to enter the WSOPC €1,700 Main Event.
Sklenicka and Perati have already captured a WSOP Circuit Ring over the past days and will be looking to add another one to their collection. But with the WSOPE kicking off on Sunday, October 13, there will be more well-known players flocking into town to try and win some jewelry too. Players like Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Shaun Deeb, and Robert Campbell with the latter three all chasing the Player of the Year honors. Who knows, they might even try their hand in winning this event too.
When players take their seats at the table, they will receive 50,000 in chips to start with. Players can reenter once per flight. There are twelve levels of 40-minutes each planned for each starting day with a 15-minute break after every three levels and a 30-minute dinner break after the sixth level of play.
