Main Event
Day 1b Started
At 2 PM local time, Day 1B of the WSOP International Circuit Rozvadov €1,700 Main Event is set to start here at the King’s Resort in the Czech Republic. The biggest poker room of Europe has been hosting the WSOPC for the past two weeks already with thirteen WSOP Circuit Ring handed out to players hailing from eight different countries. German players have laid claim to four rings already with Lithuania conquering three of them.
The Main Event has a guaranteed prize pool of €1,103,500 which includes ten tickets for the WSOPE Main Event which will take place right here in October this year. The first of two starting flights kicked off yesterday with 221 entries of which 96 made it through to Day 2 already. Peter Bstieler who took the Day 1A chip lead honors with 376,700 in chips. Bstieler is followed by Daniel Smiljkovic (366,500) and Georgy Philippovich (317,000) but as the last opening flights of any multi-flight tournament is expected to be the busiest, today’s chip leader is predicted to bag even more than the current top chip counts.
