Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante

Afik Navon raised for Danilo Donnini to three-bet to 2,100, Navon then four-bet to 7,200 and the Italian called. On the flop, Navon's bet of 3,600 was called and he then opted to check the turn. Donnini bet 7,800 and called a check-raise to 17,500.

Navon jammed the river and Donnini tank-called. The player from Israel celebrated as he rolled over for the nuts while Donnini's were briefly exposed. Once he saw what cards he was called by, Navon essentially mocked his opponent which Donnini didn't take lightly. After some words in Italian, he added "you won the pot so shut up."

Another player at the table wiggled the finger at the Italian, who shrugged while raking in the pot.

Day 1b of the 2022 WSOP International Circuit at King's Kicks Off at 2pm

Christian Zetzsche

After a successful first starting day, the flagship €1,700 Main Event of the 2022 WSOP International Circuit in Rozvadov is on track to meet and surpass the €1,000,000 guarantee. Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort saw 335 entries turn up and 108 players already booked their tickets for Day 2.

Many more will follow as the second and final starting stack is slated to get underway at 2pm local time. Once more, nine levels of 60 minutes each are scheduled and there will be a 15-minute break every two levels. Furthermore, the 30-minute dinner break for a quick trip to the casino buffet takes place after level four. The action will conclude just after midnight local time.

All participants receive 50,000 in chips and can purchase up to two re-entries throughout the day in case they come up empty-handed. The first blinds are 100-200 with a big blind ante of 200, providing all contenders 250 big blinds worth of ammunition after sitting down for the first level.

Main Event Day 1 Level Structure

Duration	Level	Small Blind	Big Blind	Big Blind Ante
60	1	100	200	200
60	2	100	300	300
60	3	200	400	400
60	4	200	500	500
60	5	300	600	600
60	6	400	800	800
60	7	500	1,000	1,000
60	8	600	1,200	1,200
60	9	800	1,600	1,600

The late registration remains open until the start of level 12, giving all those late entrants a shot for the first two levels on Day 2. Chip leader so far is Kosovo's Valon Olluri, who successfully re-entered and accumulated 552,500. Josef Huber was the only other player above half a million in chips and advanced with 535,000. Whether or not anyone on Day 1b will surpass either of these impressive stack sizes remains to be seen.

Defending champion Andrea Ricci was among the notable casualties on Day 1a and will very likely return today to try and defend his title. The same also applies for the WSOP Europe bracelet winners Antoine Vranken, Emil Bise, and 2021 WSOPE Europe Main Event champion Josef Gulas Jr.

Stay tuned for all the action from King's Resort as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor until a winner has been crowned on January 25, 2022.
