6 PM GMT Start for WSOPC #2: $10,300 Super MILLION$ High Roller with $5,000,000 GTD
The GGPoker WSOP Winter Online Circuit Series will kick-off two events today with no winner at the end as both events will play down to their final tables. Right here, the PokerNews live reporting team will be focusing on WSOPC #2: $10,300 Super MILLION$ High Roller which features a brilliant prize pool guarantee of $5,000,000. The second-biggest guarantee of the series starts its tournament at 6 p.m. GMT and will conclude the first day of play once the final table has been reached. The final table itself will then continue on Tuesday, December 15 at 6 p.m. GMT to play down to a new champion who can claim one of the final WSOP Circuit Rings of 2020.
Lars "schimmelgodx" Kamphues won the Main Event, during the first Circuit Series on GGPoker back in May, for $1,271,218 while "800-522-4700" from Costa Rica won $2,198,292 in Event #8: High Roller Championship.
With over 100 players already registered for the tournament at the start of the day, many familiar names are set to be there right from the first card of the deck. Felipe Ramos, Fedor Holz, Rainer Kempe, Mario Mosboeck, Koray Aldemir, Bryan Paris, and Stefan Schillhabel are the names which are highlighted in the tournament lobby.
But they aren't the only notable names who have paid the buy-in or satellited in as the tournament lobby also displays the names of players like Aleksejs Ponakovs, Stefan Jedlicka, Ami Barer, Artur Mortirosian, Rui Ferreira, Kristen Bicknell, and many more.
The players who sit down during the first level of the day will get a stack worth 200 big blinds as the small blind will be 250, the big blind 500, with a running ante of 60. The level duration will remain at 15 minutes throughout the day with a 5-minute break every hour at 55 minutes past the hour.
Players can reenter an unlimited number of times until 11:40 GMT if things go awry during any of the previous bullets. The late registration ending of this time should be in Level 20 which features a small blind of 5,000, a big blind of 10,000, and a running ante of 1,250. This means that a starting stack of 100,000 at the end of the registration or reentry period will be worth 20 big blinds.
Follow along with the live updates right here as play will continue until the final table of nine players has been reached.

Holz Out and Back In
Level 1
: 250/500, 60 ante
Aleksandr "leeel" Shepel has become the first casualty of the day and he was followed by Fedor Holz, who immediately re-entered and jumped right back into the same seat. In a three-way three-bet pot for 3,709 each, Joakim Andersson was the initial raiser and Holz had three-bet.
On the 
flop, Andersson check-raised to 12,399 and Holz was the only caller to then call a bet by Andersson for 26,947 on the 
turn. Andersson jammed the 
river with the covering stack and Holz eventually called.
The German poker prodigy revealed 
for top two pair but Andersson had that beat with 
for the nuts.
