Europe's biggest poker arena is once more host of the WSOP International Circuit and the tail end of the series contains the standout event of the schedule. The €1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event comes with a guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 and successfully surpassed the seven-figure goal in the previous editions. Within eight months, it is the third time the series is taking place at the King's Resort in Rozvadov, which has become the home of major live poker festivals for enthusiasts of the card game from near and afar.
In September 2021, the series kicked off a return for live poker on a major scale on European soil and the flagship tournament attracted a field of 912 entries. The duel between Andrea Ricci and Simone Lombardo saw both Italians share the biggest slice of the €1,342,920 prize pool with Ricci taking home the top prize of €236,489 and the coveted gold ring. Late in January 2022, Turkey's Feyzullah Karaarslan came out on top of a 808-entry strong field after defeating King's regular Aleksandar Tomovic in heads-up.
Tomovic and Ricci are certainly be expected to be back in action at one of their preferred poker locations. Two starting days are available in the €1,700 Main Event on Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16, both of which feature nine levels of 60 minutes each. Two re-entries are available for each day and the late registration period closes at the start of level 11, two levels into Day 2 on Sunday, April 17. All players receive 50,000 in chips and last minute additions in level 12 would enter with 20 big blinds.
The tournament is slated to play down to a winner on April 19 and the top finishers will also receive an entry to the 2022 WSOP Europe €10,350 Main Event on top of their cash prizes as part of a year-long promotion at King's Resort as well. All ring event winners of the ongoing stop will furthermore qualify for the WSOP Tournament of Champions at the end of the 2022 WSOP in Las Vegas, which offers a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000.
Stay tuned right here on PokerNews to find out who will earn the WSOP Circuit Main Event ring in the days to come. The live reporting team will be on the floor from start to finish, providing as many key hands as possible en route to crowning a champion.

The button is in seat nine and if more than three players are in their seats, the action will commence. So far, the tournament screens show a total of 69 entries but that number will likely triple throughout the day.

In three-way action to the 
turn, Tibor Nagygyorgy opted to check his option on a short-handed table while in the big blind. Karl Paeschke in the cutoff then bet 1,500 and Bartosz Pajak called on the button. Nagygyorgy check-raised to 4,000 and earned two folds to claim a pot right away. The Hungarian is one of the more notable players with more than $600k in recorded live cashes.

Hovhannes Asatrjan raised to 600 in the cutoff and Dmytro Bystrovzorov three-bet to 2,000 from one seat over, which only Asatrjan called. Both checked down the 
flop and the 
turn. On the 
river, Asatrjan overbet for 7,000 and Bystrovzorov reluctantly called to get shown the 
for quads by his table neighbour, which produced several grins by other players at the table.

: 100/200, 200 ante
With already 21,000 in the middle to the 
turn, a bet worth 15,000 was in front of Vadym Sienichkin in the small blind and that sent Andrea Ricci into the tank. The Italian eventually called on the button and Sienichkin then tanked the 
on the river before he opted to check.
Ricci bet 4,000 and Sienichkin paid that off within a few seconds to muck his cards once he was shown the 
for the top pair and top kicker.

On the tail end of a heads-up pot between Duc Quy Nguyen and Josef Gulas, the completed board read 
. Nguyen bet 2,500 and earned a call within a few seconds by King's Resort regular Gulas to reveal the 
for a full house. That ended up as the winning hand, as Gulas sent his cards into the muck.
